Overview of the NATO Science for Peace project on management of transboundary floods in the Crisul-Körös river system / J. Marsalek, G. Stancalie, R. Brakenridge, M. Putsay, R. Mic, J. Szekeres.: En13-5/05-181E-PDF

"The transboundary (Hungary-Romania) region of the Crisul/Körös river basin suffers from frequent floods, which start in the mountainous headwaters of the basin in Romania and propagate quickly to the plains in Hungary. The NATO Science for Peace Programme has sponsored a project in this region entitled Monitoring of Extreme Flood Events in Romania and Hungary Using Earth Observation (EO) Data. NASA also supports this project by providing access to Radarsat and ASTER data and via grant funding to one of the co-authors. The main goal of the project is to reduce flood risks in the study area by improved flood management combining hydrological modelling, EO data and GIS facilities; and, refining flood forecasting to increase the forecast accuracy and lead-times. The project is progressing well with an expected completion in late 2005"--Abstract, pages 1-2.
