iFOREST Launches Multi-Satellite Dashboard to Monitor Crop Residue Burning
The International Forum for Environment, Sustainability and Technology (iFOREST) has launched Fire Watch, a multi-satellite online dashboard that provides a comprehensive view of crop residue burning. Covering Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, it tracks the number and location of active fires, peak burning times, and the area affected during the season. Fire Watch integrates data from polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites, along with high-resolution imagery, to offer more detailed information than traditional fire counts, aiding policymakers and the public in designing interventions.
