List of project ideas of the TFWG members in Brussels, update 1september 2014
1)
To demonstrate the merit of jointly assimilating soil moisture and flood extent information into
operational flood forecasting systems - Lucien Hoffmann/Patrick Matgen (Centre de Recherche Public
Gabriel Lippmann).
2)
Earth observation for Water Resource Management and Modelling; to use of Satellite remote
sensing for (improved) water management and modelling - Tom Rientjes (Twente University/ITC).
3)
To apply International Rainfall Radar in the neighbouring countries or other European border
regions and improve it, in particular in the accurate short-term forecasting of extreme rainfall events –
Tobias Renner/Jan Gooijer (Samenwerkingsverband Nationale Regenradar).
4)
River Litter sampling: a new method to assess the amount of litter in a river – Gijsbert
Tweehuysen (Kastoro Consulting).
5)
River Crisis Management and Flood Control (FC CRIMAN) Project: to collect the needed
information for land use and urban areas in floodplains for detailing the hazard and risk maps, for a
better planning of the flood prevention measures integrated at the basin level (FRMP) on long
perspective, and on operational basis, for a better perspective of flood forecasting model application,
by better soil moisture and API estimation – Mary Jane Adler (National Institute of Hydrology and
Water Management).
6)
To build a Decision Support System based upon the information of different
sources/authorities/countries and of different kind (different models, different measurements, …) and
combine the outputs to one real time flood risk map that is provided to the users online through a GIS
web viewer – Guido Vaes (Hydroscan).
7)
Harmonization of legislation of Flood Risk Management tools. – Vladimir Korneev (Central
Research Institute for Complex Use of Water Resources (CRICUWR))
8)
Cross-border harmonization of river basin management tools, taken into account WFD and
FRD. – Vladimir Korneev (Central Research Institute for Complex Use of Water Resources
(CRICUWR))
9)
Development of integrated river basin approach in water management for the transnational Bug
River Basin through establishment of an International Bug River Basin Committee. – Vladimir Korneev
(Central Research Institute for Complex Use of Water Resources (CRICUWR))
10) Regional Climate Buffers (draught, floods, surface& groundwater) – Fred van den Brink
(Province Limburg NL).
11) Precise data collection in border regions for mapping purposes– Fred van den Brink (Province
Limburg NL).
