FLOCODS-FLOod COntrol Decision Support

Decision Support System for ecosystem upgrading and flood control of a sustainable development in the Red River System (China, Vietnam)

 The overall objective of the FLOCODS project is to develop a Decision Support System (DSS) in support of flood control and ecosystem upgrading with particular emphasis on the Red River System (RSS). The DSS will be developed in a general way so that it can be used later for similar rivers in other Asian countries. On a short-term basis (2001-2003), the research phase serves for applied research to lay the scientific foundations and allow initial validation for a generic DSS using RRS as its test bed. The specific objectives of the pilot phase are:

  1. Development of a pilot DSS in using advanced techniques
  2. Identification of possible measures to be taken for flood control and ecosystem upgrading, and evaluating their socio-economic impacts
  3. Improvement of the capability of Asian partners

The project consists of the following work packages:

The Water Resources Management group is involved in WP 2, WP 4 and WP 6. Other partners in this project are:
