Description:
The project intended to test and demonstrate the effectiveness of a computerised system able to collect, transmit and process the information related to flood risks and effects, compared with conventional methods. The system would consist in: - automatic measurement (sampling) stations for water levels; - dedicated transmission lines and; - software to calculate and assess the flood risks and effects. The central and local authorities were expected to make use of this computerised tool for physical planning and for more effective emergency actions in the case of floods. The area most affected by floods were chosen to implement the system: Mures, Arges and Siret River Basins.
