ABSTRACT

Water scarcity represents a significant challenge to agricultural productivity and food security, particularly in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. Exacerbated by its arid and semi-arid climates, coupled with population growth, and changing climatic conditions, the demand for water in agriculture continues to rise despite the growing demands of other sectors, while water resources are becoming increasingly limited. In this context, data technologies, including Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence, among others, offer promising avenues for addressing water scarcity and agriculturerelated issues. Innovative solutions leveraging these technologies have emerged as crucial tools that provide valuable data and insights that contribute to monitoring of water use, assessment of crop yield and productivity, water requirements, and optimizing irrigation practices, and providing early warning, thereby enhancing water use efficiency and productivity in agriculture while considering the need of water in other sectors.

Keywords: Water scarcity; Agricultural productivity; Sustainable water management; Water use efficiency; Crop mapping; Remote sensing; Geographic information systems (GIS); Cloud computing; Artificial intelligence (AI); Geospatial technology; Analysis-ready data; Google earth engine (GEE); FAO SEPAL; FAO WaPOR
