ACWA Portal

Transforming the Indus Basin with Climate Resilient Agriculture and Water Management

The ACWA (Agriculture, Climate, Water) portal is a web-based information system that provides institutional stakeholders with reliable and up-to-date information of the Indus Basin to support decisions to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture, food security, and rural livelihoods.

Features

What ACWA Has To Offer

The ACWA Portal provides access to a vast array of data and results related to climate-resilient agriculture and water management. Users can explore water accounting, aquifer vulnerability assessments, aquifer management, ET (evapotranspiration) monitoring, and ET management data. In addition, the portal displays training and technical reference materials produced for practitioners and farmers, as well as contents developed for awareness and outreach campaigns.

The ACWA Portal offers a user-friendly dashboard, ensuring easy navigation and seamless access to the available data, information, and tools. The portal's layout and design prioritize user experience, allowing government institutions, policymakers, irrigation scheme managers, water user associations, and farmers to analyze and effectively use the content.

A vital attribute of the ACWA Portal is the development of a Consortium for Information Management. This consortium aims to foster networking and knowledge sharing among professionals in the agriculture and water sectors, specifically centered around the portal and its associated tools. Government institutions can leverage this platform to expand their capacity to analyze and disseminate agricultural, climate, and water information effectively.

The ACWA Portal serves as a gateway for government institutions to collaborate with the ACWA project and other stakeholders working on climate change adaptation. It provides opportunities for government institutions to contribute knowledge and experiences, exchange ideas, and form partnerships with leading organizations in the field. This fosters a collaborative approach towards building climate resilience and ensures that government agencies have access to the latest advancements and best practices in climate-resilient agriculture and water management.

The ACWA Portal provides a single point of access to a wide range of data and information on water resources, climate change, and agriculture in the Indus Basin. This makes it easier for stakeholders to find the information they need to make informed decisions.
ACWA Portal provides a variety of tools and resources to help stakeholders make informed decisions about water allocation, irrigation management, and agricultural practices. This includes tools for analyzing data, developing models, and creating visualizations.
