Flooding constitutes the most prevalent and costly natural disaster in the world. Particularly, the Asia-Pacific region suffers the most. While a variety of mitigation measures can be implemented to minimize the impact of flooding, satellite technology can play a vital role. In this regard, experts from ISRO and IWMI have volunteered to co-organize a dedicated webinar as part of Sentinel Asia activities for the benefit of JPT members. The webinar is titled "Space Technology for Flood Forecast Modelling" and is planned to take place on 27 and 28 October from 10:00 (Hyderabad time).
This webinar is a follow-on of the webinar on space-based drought risk management co-organized by ISRO and IWMI on 19 and 20 July, and will address, just as its predecessor, among other things, general theories, experts' lectures, and an interactive session. It is expected to contribute to deepening the understanding of participants on this thematic topic and helping them take future actions toward mitigating flood risks and responding better to floods.
