“The remarkable characteristics of the service are its objectivity, reliability, and the explicit spatial distribution of the information.” […] “SAGE is of the greatest interest for a better monitoring and control of the irrigation demand.”

“For us, SoilSAGE offers such an adequate approach (to monitoring and managing of soil sealing) because it provides spatially referenced & consistent information which supports regular national reporting obligations, substantiates our ETC–TE work related to soil sealing, fills gaps identified by TWG Research (STS) and supports the indicator development of the Austrian working group on soil.”

“In comparison to CLC the improvements of AquaSAGE services according to spatial resolution and thematic content […] are obvious and can contribute significantly to many of our tasks, e.g. WFD reporting, air pollution reduction and it´s impacts to sensitive ecosystems, protection of coastal zones, climate / Kyoto protocol / climate change, regional development, soil protection.”

“SAGE offers a harmonised data with a higher spatial detail than existing data sources (e.g. CLC), which can be integrated into existing GIS. This centralised data service will reduce costs for collecting base data. SAGE directly supports tasks such as the implementation of policies and plans (WFD, STS), regional and spatial planning and reporting obligations.”
