Drought Forecasting

Water stress and drought are conditions increasingly faced in many parts of the world. Creating a picture of the complex processes involved often requires the integration of large amounts of field data, remote sensing data and simulation models.

In response to these challenges, Delft-FEWS provides a state of the art hydrological forecast and warning system. The system is a sophisticated collection of modules designed for building a hydrological forecasting system customised to the specific requirements of an individual organisation.

The philosophy of the system is to provide an open shell for managing the data handling and forecasting process. This shell incorporates a comprehensive library of general data handling utilities, allowing a wide range of external models to be integrated in the system through a published open interface. This allows existing simulation models and data streams to be turned into a comprehensive and reliable forecasting system.
