Notice Information

Notice Title

Earth Observation for Groundwater Monitoring

Notice Description

Earth observation helps with obtaining an understanding the processes that affect and connect with groundwater in areas where traditional monitoring is not practicable. Earth observation integrated with GIS to analyse features of the earth could help improve understanding of groundwater. Using the physical properties of objects to emit or reflect electromagnetic radiation, earth observations provide information on land use, type of crops, topography, geological features, groundwater-surface water interaction, surface and water temperature. Groundwater is intrinsically linked to surface processes and earth observations can help to target groundwater analysis and actions to improve groundwater environments. To apply please respond to the attached Invitation to Quote and associated documents. Email your response and/or questions to heidi.bignell@environment-agency.gov.uk. Tenders to be received no later than 17:00 on 18th November 2022.
