The goal of the WISDOM project, initiated by Vietnamese and German partners, is to design and implement an Information System for the Mekong Delta, containing information from the fields of hydrology, sociology, information technology and earth observation. The integration of such data will enable the end-user of the system to perform analyses on very specific questions and thus will supply the end-user with a tool supporting regional planning activities.
Some of the goals of the project’s Information System are the:
- monitoring of floods and droughts
- evaluation of flood and drought risk, damage potential and actual damages
- analyses of water quality, pollution and sediment load
- improvement of flood prediction via remotely-sensed precipitation information
- detailed adaptation of surface and sub-surface discharge models
- information of landcover- and landuse changes
- observation of settlement development, surface sealing and population growth
