Objective : The objective of the project is to minimize the suffering and damage from floods and to reduce vulnerability and risk of floods.

To achieve this a real-time forecasting system is required.

Application of a complete system will facilitate transfer of vital information to reduce or prevent flood damage and loss of life. Timeframe :

The Duration of the Project : 12 Months General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works

FUNDING

Total Cost of the Project : 260.000 Euro From National Budget : 150.000 Euro Needed Fund : 110.000 Euro

DSI has also ongoing projects in the planning and construction stages for the recovery of the infrastructure for flood prevention in the project area. The Planned infrastructures cost about 4,4 million Euro. The timeframe of these future projects will be 10-15 years. General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works

Who will be Warned?
