Development of an Early Warning System (EWS) for Flood Preparedness in the Kopili River Basin and integrating advanced forecasting techniques, community participation, and robust dissemination mechanisms to augment disaster resilience.
The Kopili River in Assam experiences frequent flooding scenarios, and the client’s major concern was to develop the resource management system and enhance watershed management and community-based disaster risk reduction. It also involved establishing an Early Warning System (EWS) to improve preparedness and flood response in the region.
The project enhanced flood preparedness in Assam’s Kopili Basin through real-time data, flood modeling, and a robust Early Warning System. The integrated dashboard allows authorities to monitor embankments, predict flood scenarios, and plan timely responses. Community disaster preparedness was enhanced through training, village-level disaster plans, and a wetland development strategy.
