Hydrological Hazard/Risk Maps and Assessments
▪   We develop the flood hazard maps with different return
    periods for some city using different models such as
    HEC RAS 1D, 2D Model and RRI
▪   the flood hazard maps have already developed with
    different return periods for about more than 10 cities.
▪   We shared those maps to the water related disaster
    management Departments and organizations.

Hydrological Forecasting System
▪   DMH have already developed the different hydrological models such as (HBV
    Model, HEC HMS model and so on.
▪   However, DMH cannot apply this model to our flood forecasting system directly,
    because of accuracy. Currently, we use this model for reference only, especially for
    our forecaster.
▪   All models are still needed to improve the accuracy of model output.

Future plans
1. To promote of Numerical weather Prediction System
2. To Substitute conventional instruments to advanced instruments.
3. To install modernize weather radars to cover the coastal regions.
4. To upgrade DMH’s Data collection and processing system with automation.
5. To enhance Climate Services, Application and Modeling Dense Meteorological
   observational networks
6. To extend Automatic Weather Station (AWS),Upper air observation facilities
   (Pilot balloon, wind, moisture, etc)
7. More instruments to observed radiation, evaporation, sun shine, ozone, upper
   air, wind and temperature
8. High gust anemometer for coastal station.
