The Deltares Aqua Monitor is the first global-scale tool that shows where water has been transformed into land and vice-versa with a 30-metre resolution. The Aqua Monitor uses freely available satellite data and Google Earth Engine, a platform for the planetary-scale scientific analysis of
geospatial datasets that is open to the general public. The Aqua Monitor can be used to detect both documented and undocumented surface water changes. The changes due to man-made interventions, natural variability, and climate change have now been revealed.
