analyses for in-depth insights, and browse satellite collections with direct visualization
on the map.
• Open aerial map. Set of tools for searching, sharing, and using openly licensed satellite
and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. Built on top of the Open Imagery Network
(OIN), OAM is an open service that provides search and access to this imagery.
• Hydrosheds. Database offers a suite of global digital data layers at multiple resolutions
and scales to support of hydro-ecological research and applications worldwide.
Provides free data in GIS formats that can serve a broad range of assessments,
including hydrological, environmental, and socioeconomic, among others.
• Google Earth Engine data catalog. A comprehensive repository within the Google Earth
Engine platform, providing users with access to a diverse collection of geospatial
datasets and imagery. It serves as a centralized catalog, allowing users to explore and
discover a wide range of datasets for their geospatial needs, from satellite imagery to
climate data.

c) Interactive Dashboards and visualization
Participants learned about the design and implementation of interactive dashboards for
enhanced data representation. This segment highlighted the role of dashboards in
transforming complex datasets into visually intuitive displays, and how these outputs can
allow stakeholders to interpret and make informed decisions regarding transboundary
water issues. Insights and examples on the latest developments and available tools for
improving data visualization were provided, including some taste in virtual and
augmented reality visualization tools.

• Site Scan for Arc GIS Cloud-based drone mapping software, a part of the ArcGIS Reality
suite, optimizing drone imagery data collection, processing, and analysis. Features
include automatic fleet management, repeatable flight plans, secure cloud processing,
and seamless integration with advanced analytics.
• Flourish studio. Enables the creation of interactive graphs, charts, and unique
visualizations from uploaded datasets. Flourish offers diverse visualization options
beyond traditional graphing from spreadsheets, catering to various presentation
needs.
• Story maps ArcGIS. A web-based application facilitating the creation of interactive
narratives by seamlessly blending maps with multimedia content. Allows users to
author, present dynamic presentations, and publish/share stories and collections
effortlessly.

d) Cloud Analytics
Advantages and functionalities of cloud analytics in handling vast datasets related to
water management were portraited. It explored how cloud-based solutions enhance
