A thorough understanding of the environmental context helps decision makers choose optimal locations for interventions. A site suitability analysis offers an initial overview, ensuring that interventions are placed effectively and sustainably.
Within this data service, we evaluate different locations to determine the most suitable site based on a set of environmental indicators. This involves assessing factors such as topography, soil type, water availability, proximity to infrastructure, and potential environmental impact. As such, this service can help advise on the placement of boreholes, latrines, and other infrastructure projects to ensure they are efficiently located, with minimal environmental impact.
Activities in this service include spatial analysis using GIS, remote sensing for environmental monitoring, statistical modelling to predict outcomes of site interventions, and visualization of findings.
