COALA H2020 Project Details
Who are we?COALA is a Horizon 2020 EU funded project. COALA is comprised of 11 innovative partners across Australia and Europe including Ariespace, Agrisat, UNSW Sydney, University of Melbourne, University of Castilla La Mancha, ANBI Campania, BOKU, Rubicon Water, JCRMO, BCG and White Research. These partners are combining their knowledge and expertise to adapt and validate Earth Observation-assisted products and services that are on the European market already, to the Australian agri-market.What do we do?Australia is a water-scarce environment, so there are challenges in ensuring there is enough water to farmland. COALA is developed to provide satellite data from the Copernicus programme to help provide efficient water irrigation management and soil nutrient availability. Saving farmers time and money.Where is COALA focused?In three pilot areas within the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia's food bowl, services of COALA will be put to the test, openly demonstrated and validated at district scale and farm scale. The Murray Darling Basin is home to >2.6 million Australians, providing >3 million with water in an industry worth 24 billion annually.Why should farmers and irrigators adopt COALA? Simply put; It will save them money. COALA will monitor their water use so they can make more informed decisions because COALA will create a processing chain for Water Resource Monitoring, considering local agricultural and environmental conditions.How does COALA work?The COALA project transfers consolidated Copernicus Earth Observation-based (satellite) products developed in Europe to Australia, through experimental calibration and validation supported by local in-situ systems, in particular ground-based networks of sensors (soil, crop, climate) and unmanned aerial vehicle acquisitions.
