Project description
Reliable and comrehensive hydrologic data is the basis of efficient flood forecasting in any country of the Danube Basin. Furthermore one of the most important factors of flood risk mitigation is the available time for necessary measures. Increasing the operative preparation period contributes to decreasing or even avoiding disasters. The project therefore aims to establsih a standardised international hydro-meteorological data exchange platform which can improve the quality and efficiency of national forecast services. DAREFFORT project is a horizontal initiative to implement a mutually adopted flood risk mitigtion measure in a joint and sustainable way on Danube catchment level.
