Section outline

  • We are going to work with the FAO Water Productivity Open-access Portal (WaPOR) data. 

    The data will be given to you in an Excel file so it is not obligatory for you to download your own data.

    The FAO WaPOR has two ways to access data:

    1. Manually through a graphical user interface (GUI) https://wapor.apps.fao.org/home/WAPOR_2/1
    2. Programmatically through an application programming interface (API) 

    In either case, a shape file with a field boundary has to be ready.

    This module should take you 0.5 hours.

    • Video - 5 minutes
    • Portal registration [optional] - 5 minutes
    • Data preparation [optional] - 20-30 minutes
