Overall Goal

Operational Implementation of Integrated Wa
Resources Management Approaches

Project Purpose

Draft Specific issues in Cambodia:•In-situ observation network and data access andsharing platform not sufficient.
•Lack of flood/drought forecasting and early
warning systems for operational applications.
•Climate change impact assessment on waternexus. To address these issues ?

Con’t1.
2.

Improve water cycle observation network and data
management and information dissemination systems.
Develop capability of flood and drought forecast and early
warning on an operational basis including: Accessibility to numerical weather prediction information anddata.
 Suitable hydrological models for operational use.
 Decision support and information dissemination tools.
3.

Understand the current situation and assess climate change
impacts on seasonal patterns of water cycle variables, floods,droughts and water-nexus (food and health in particular) andprovide recommendation for adaptation measures.

Outputs
1. Demonstrate improvement of water cycle observations
data management systems and information dissemination
systems.
•Develop/improve near-real time data observation network by

Installing new/improvement stations and(ii) coupling satellite and in-situ measurements.
•Develop/improve comprehensive in-situ and satellite observation
data archive for improving monitoring capability of water cycleand enhance data dissemination systems, which is then used
Develop/improve long-term and comprehensive climate
observation data archives, which are used for climate changeanalysis.
•Improve observational, modeling and application capacity in thecountry (education and training).
(i)2. Demonstrate capability of flood and drought forecast andearly warning on an operational basis, starting with theSangker river basin and then follow up with wider areas.
 Establish easy and real-time access to numerical weather

prediction data (Meteorology./Hydrology Department
DOM/DHRW) for operational purposes.
 Develop distributed, physically-based hydrological model(s)for converting meteorological (weather prediction) data intohydrological information and capable of coupling withfurther modules, e.g. inundation, vegetation growth andcrop Understand the current situation and assess climatechange impacts on seasonal patterns of water cycle
variables, floods, droughts and water-nexus(agriculture, in particular) and provide
recommendation for adaptation measures based on
IWRM practices, Methodology for assessment of hydrological changes
using the climate changes modeling projection data(corrected and downscaled) and suitablehydrological model(s) analysis's.
