International cooperation > Flood forecasting (Ecuador)

CREALP supported INAMHI, the technical-scientific entity responsible for the production and dissemination of hydrometeorological information in Ecuador, in the design of a simulation model and the development of an automatic real-time forecasting system.

The support provided consisted of a training course in hydrology using the RS MINERVE software, as well as technical support for the development of a model of the Coca watershed. This support was complemented by the implementation of a forecasting system based on available data (historical and real-time).

Ultimately, these activities will enable INAMHI to equip itself with a real-time hydrological forecasting system that will enable it to be more reactive in potentially risky situations.
