Vietnam (Water) -200805
< Last Update: 19 Feb. 2013 >
SAFE Prototyping Status: May 2008 - June 2010 <Completed>
Integrated water resource management
Period
May 2008 ~ June 2010
Estimation of rainfall happened in Vietnam is of great practical important for the operational monitoring and forecasting of flood. River, dyke and dam system improvements are not sufficient and an active evacuation is very important to reduce damage caused by flood, flash flood, and tropical cyclone. Development of dam manipulation and hydroelectric system for optimized water management is very important due to sparseness of rain gauge network, especially in the remote areas and contribute to mitigation of flood damage. The Vietnamese National Hydro-Meteorological Service (NHMS), Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) is responsible for flood management and meteorological services in Vietnam. The objective of this prototype is to strengthen precipitation monitoring and reservoir management at Hong River and Red River by using satellite data and model calculation
