Guiding future smartEarth investments to support socioeconomic benefits of new Canadian Space Agency CSAwater-related Space-Based EO missions:WaterSat, WildFireSat and Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission.

The Canadian Space Agency CSA Space Utilization Directorate required consulting support to quantify and qualify the potential socioeconomic benefits to Canadians of satellite-derived information on water quality and quantity that will ultimately allow the identification of specific mission outcomes and applications gaps to guide future smartEarth investments. This will be done by using a value of information framework and other relevant methodologies based on international best practices, in order to assess the impact on decision-making for three water-related space-based EO missions: WaterSat, WildFireSat and Terrestrial Snow Mass Mission.
