Concept
FutureWater biedt wereldwijd hoogwaardige onderzoeks- en adviesdiensten, waarbij wetenschappelijk onderzoek wordt gecombineerd met praktische oplossingen voor waterbeheer. WaterMaps is het webportaal waar FutureWater zijn geo-dataproducten en resultaten samenbrengt die zijn afgeleid van tal van projecten en (operationele) diensten van over de hele wereld. Het biedt een gestaag groeiende verzameling resultaten van een breed scala aan watergerelateerde projecten en diensten, die interactief kunnen worden verkend door op de kaart te bladeren. De analyse- en informatieproducten die te zien zijn op WaterMaps worden gebruikt om de effecten te beoordelen die verband houden met overstromingen, droogtes, irrigatie, waterkracht en voedselproductie.
FutureWater-toepassingen
FutureWater gebruikt state-of-the-art, open-source kwantitatieve methoden om besluitvormers te informeren over huidige en toekomstige uitdagingen op het gebied van watervoorraden. WaterMaps is een visualisatietool die is ontwikkeld om gemakkelijke toegang te bieden tot modelresultaten en producten met ruimtelijke gegevens, verkregen uit projecten die uitdagingen aanpakken met betrekking tot:
- Landbouw
- Klimaatverandering
- Flying sensors (drones)
- Hydrologie
- Hydraulische eigenschappen van de bodem
- Waterschaarste

Q koorts en fysieke omgevingsfactoren
Er zijn sterke aanwijzingen dat het risico voor besmetting bij de mens met Q koorts afhangt van fysieke omgevingsfactoren, zoals warm weer met droge bodems en een bepaalde wind. Wind met genoeg snelheid en de juiste richting kan stofdeeltjes in de lucht doen komen die de bacterie invangen en deze kunnen vervolgens door mensen en...
