Soil Water Content 20 m

This dataset quantifies soil water content (m³/m³) at 20 m spatial resolution. Data has global coverage and sub-weekly resolution, available from 2018 onwards.

Frameworks

CSRD ESRS E3 agricultural risk assessment drought monitoring

Use cases

  • Drought monitoring and early warning for agricultural supply chains
  • Irrigation planning and water stress assessment
  • Crop yield risk modelling for commodity exposure
  • Reforestation site suitability analysis

Who uses this

Precision farmers, water resource managers, and agricultural ESG analysts use the 20 m soil water content layer for field-level soil moisture monitoring with sub-weekly updates. Supply chain sustainability teams at food companies use it to verify water use claims from specific supplier farms. The high spatial resolution is particularly valuable for smallholder supply chains where individual farm-level monitoring data is otherwise unavailable.
