Kazakhstan develops digital flood forecasting and modeling system

The Kazakh government reports the development of a digital flood forecasting and modeling system. It comprises four modules: data collection, analysis, forecasting, and modeling. The program will use data from the Kazakhstan Gharysh Sapary National Company, the Kazhydromet National Hydrometeorological Service, and the National Center for Geodesy and Spatial Information. The system will be integrated with the Emergencies Ministry’s database to monitor flood, landslide, and avalanche-prone areas, as well as hydraulic structures. Plans also include creating a digital elevation model for regions frequently affected by flooding.
