[edit] Flood surveys

  • integrate approach to data collection and management taking into account ground and satellite based technology,
  • evaluate alternative procedures using remote sensing technologies, incorporating the *hydrometric network and hydrodynamic studies,
  • institute joint plan of action among regional pilot projects,
  • practice real time reception of meteorological satellite data,
  • promote national capacities for processing and use of flood data, and
  • encourage further regional cooperation.

[edit] Flood forecasting and river modelling

  • modernize present flood forecasting system of MRCS with new components such as pattern recognition techniques to process rainfall forecasts, distributed hydrological modelling, hydrodynamic and flow modelling etc.,
    • include the great lake area of Cambodia and the Mekong delta in Vietnam,
  • exchange information and data transfer between regional and national centres, reinforce centres, and
  • adopt a consistent and harmonized line of software for database management, simulation modelling and water resources planning.

[edit] Lao visual learning protocols

  • study flood phenomena on the Vientiane plain,
  • operate reservoirs on a multipurpose basis,
  • implement flood protection schemes based on typographic data and time dependent hydrologic simulation, and
  • use differential GPS for topographic mapping.
