Project Monitoring, forcasting and best practices for FLOOD Mitigation and prevEntion in the CADSES region

- FLOODMED will bring together scientists and public servants in developing a scalable system of operational tools to support integrated water and sustainable flood risk management. Transnational methodologies and models will be developped and implemented for flood estimation and forecasting, for both gauged and ungauged sites, leading up to the proposal of flood mitigation measures and real-time warning systems.
- The efficacy of different best management practices, structural and non-structural, will be examined in relation to flood prevention and low impact development. Upon project completion, local authorities will have at their disposal, and will be trained to use, a state of the art, viable, integrated system for flood estimation and mitigation, which will constitute a solid basis for decision making in the area of spatial planning.
