How Can Space Technology Help With Water Management?

Space technology, particularly the use of satellites, has significantly influenced multiple sectors, including water management. Water management entails the collection, transportation, treatment, and distribution of water for various uses such as agriculture, municipal supply, and industrial processes. Effective water management also involves monitoring water quality, predicting water availability, and mitigating the effects of natural disasters like floods and droughts. This article reviews the role of space technology in global water management.

Report: China and Strategic Instability in Space: Pathways to Peace in an Era of US-China Strategic Competition (USIP 2023)

The report highlights three key drivers of instability in space: the entanglement of conventional and nuclear space sensor systems, the testing of kinetic energy direct ascent anti-satellite weapons, and the dramatic growth of constellations of tens and even hundreds of thousands of commercial satellites. China plays a critical role in all three of these issues, reflecting the fact that the infrastructure of space governance has not kept pace with technological change and the burgeoning number of actors in space.
