| Summary of Project |
This project will contribute to GEOSS within the context of the GEOSS Work Plan for 2007–2009: (i) WA-06-07: Capacity Building Program for Water Resource Management. It will support the work of flood risk reduction research of AWCI, which will assess regional vulnerability of natural and human systems from floods under changing environmental conditions and will contribute to the development of policy options for appropriate local and regional responses. The project will also contribute directly to enhancing regional cooperation, strengthen interactions between scientists and policy- makers and improve scientific and technical capabilities of Asian region nations, fitting very well with the APN activity framework. Training programs on the use of tools and data will form the basis for capacity development activities. |
