SWaRD Dashboard | Sustainable Water Resources Development

Know your water.
Plan your crops.
Sustain your future.

Support sustainable agriculture through better water decisions. See where water is available, understand crop needs, and identify sustainable irrigation.

Sustainable Agriculture in Ethiopia

Water Matters More Than Ever

Water scarcity is one of the greatest challenges facing agriculture today. Without reliable info, farmers face high risks.

Unpredictable Rainfall

Rainfall is becoming unpredictable, leading to crop failures due to water shortages.

Droughts & Floods

Increasing frequency of droughts and floods, making farming more risky in water-scarce areas.

Resource Depletion

Competition for limited resources leads to unsustainable groundwater extraction and inefficiency.

What SWaRD Tool Offers
