The high mountain regions of Asia provide an important source of water for the populated downstream areas. In the Pan-Third Pole Environment project Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 works on understanding the large-scale impacts of climate change on the region鈥檚 water supply, and on the impacts of socioeconomic development on water demand. In this video researcher Philip Kraaijenbrink explains how large-scale remote sensing and modelling tools are used to do this.

The Indus river basin in Asia is one of the most water-stressed regions on our planet. Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 leads SustaIndus; an interdisciplinary science project to support sustainable water management and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals for water, food, and energy in this climate change hotspot. In this video researcher Arthur Lutz explains how modeling tools are used to do this.
