Project Details

Establishment of a support system for resolving water-related issues caused by climate change
Water-related disasters such as flood and drought have expanded, and may become even more serious as a result of climate change, changes in land use and so on. This project will propose effective techniques for management of water resources and models for water-related disaster mitigation, and will create support systems for policy implementation. The existing rainfall observation networks of the Thai Meteorological Department and the Royal Irrigation Department and local survey information will be used to enhance accuracy of numerical simulations, and an integrated system for hydrological information will be proposed that the estimation of variability of the hydrological cycle accompanying climate change and changes in land use.

Search for the adaptation through the survey of flood of the Chao Phraya River
A system for accumulating observational data and a system that integrates the observational data and water resource management models were established. In 2011, emergency survey of flood of the Chao Phraya River was implemented, and contributed to the planning of adaptation. In the future, these data will be integrated, together with historical data.
