South Asia: Floods from the Roof of the World: Protection Thanks to Applied Research

The project consists of working with participating countries to develop an inventory of glaciers and glacier lakes as well as a GLOF monitoring system. The data gathered is used as the basis for early warning systems. The database is also used to determine the amount of total available water resources the region will have in the future.
