SERVIR scientists discuss the how the Regional Drought Monitoring and Early Warning System is being used in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region.
The Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region is no stranger to water- and weather-induced hazards. Every year, these disasters result in loss of lives, livelihoods, and damage to infrastructure throughout HKH countries.
SERVIR Hindu Kush Himalaya partnered with the University of Alaska Fairbanks to organize a training titled HydroSAR: Extracting flood information from SAR to advance the use of SAR at ICIMOD and across the HKH region.
As part of this service, SERVIR HKH, with the technical support of Brigham Young University developed a streamflow prediction tool that incorporates all primary and secondary rivers in the HKH region
The Regional Drought Monitoring and Outlook System (RDMOS) was developed to help predict, mitigate, and adequately respond to drought vulnerabilities in the HKH region.
