This service improves air quality monitoring through a web-based dashboard that was developed that utilizes publicly available observation data, satellite-based remote sensing products, and atmospheric models.
Nestled in between soaring green mountains, Guatemala’s Lake Atitlán is renowned as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. It has also been under threat by massive blooms of algae clotting its pristine waters. In 2009 and 2015, massive “blooms” of algae threatened to cause severe ecological damage.

SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
Disaster preparedness and the water resource management require reliable and timely information. In many regions of the world, ground observation data is scarce. Here are three ways that SERVIR's innovative services and tools enable decision-makers and authorities to address water challenges.

SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya helps improve environmental management and resilience in critical areas like food security, water resources management, disaster resilience, and sustainable lan
The Monitoring Extreme Weather in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) service provides a customized numerical weather prediction toolkit to assess high impact convective weather events over the HKH region.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
Results of an in-depth, independent evaluation of the SERVIR project were shared at an Adaptation Community Meeting held June 28 at The Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. The evaluation included case studies of nine tools and services from throughout the SERVIR network. This featured article highlights some results and includes a link to the recorded webcast of the event.
