The future development of many countries worldwide depends on the sustainable use of water. Here, reliable forecasts can help local decision-makers. New methods for predicting seasonal water availability in semi-arid regions are being developed by a consortium with Tractebel
Apart from Tractebel, seven universities and institutes as well as various local decision-makers are involved in the project
The water experts have already solved their first task by having developed new programs and methods for processing global weather data for the semi-arid study areas in Africa, Asia and South America. To this end, Tractebel
First version of a prototype
In the next step, the team will develop an online prototype that takes into account the individual needs of regional decision-makers and makes forecasts using the new methods. The aim is to mitigate the harmful impact of climate change on water resources.
Midway through the projectteorological measurements. The first version of the online prototype has already been created and is now being coordinated both internally and with the stakeholders.
