SERVIR hubs are at the forefront in developing high-quality water information, tools, products, and services that enable partner countries to monitor, measure, and report on water resources and changes, and to better predict and manage water-related disasters.
The SERVIR program, launched in 2005, connects NASA, U.S. researchers, a network of development partners around the world, and companies like Google to harness the power of satellite observations — helping countries see, with greater clarity, how their environments affect well-being and safety.
