BAWP Knowledge Sharing Portal and Maprooms

The Bicol Agri-Water Project (BAWP) is working to develop, test, and apply agro-climate tools to support decisions for managing climate risks at the farm level and for managing water resources at the watershed level. Adopting a user-driven approach, BAWP is customizing state-of-the-art, user-friendly decision support tools for the Bicol region, Philippines. The decision support tools include: (a) Water Evaluation and Planning Model (WEAP), (b) Climate-Agriculture Model (CAMDT), and (c) Knowledge Sharing Portal and Maproom (KSPM).

The KSPM is a web-based tool that consolidates, hosts all data and models generated from local and global products and datasets CAMDT and WEAP-Bicol and displays it in one location. It provides users with easy and convenient access to manage and show (as maps, time series plots, tables) climate, water and agricultural data generated by the tools described above.

KSPM [...] can be accessed and used by agricultural technicians and extension workers at the regional and municipal levels as well as agricultural specialists in partner state universities and colleges.

The KSPM was produced by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) for review by the United States Agency for International Development and partners on the BAWP and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID.
