Description

Thailand regularly faces drought problems, resulting in water shortages that are insufficient to meet various needs, particularly in the agricultural sector. This project aims to create a "Drought Monitoring and Forecasting Operating System" as a pilot initiative. The system is designed to predict drought-prone areas at least three months in advance and develop a data display system supporting relevant agencies in water management planning. It is poised to enhance drought management services significantly.

MU-SDGs Case Study Content

Importance Project Objectives:
1. To enhance the drought vulnerability index and develop the drought prediction index. Develop operating systems and display systems to support water management for increased efficiency
2. To develop the potential of personnel in the development of drought monitoring and forecasting systems, and in the analysis and development of water indices from satellite data.

Operation:
Develop a "Drought Monitoring and Forecasting Operating System" as a pilot project. The system should be capable of predicting drought-prone areas at least 3 months in advance and developing a data display system to support relevant agencies in planning water management. Ensure readiness to provide efficient support for drought management services.

Performance:
Quantitative:
The vulnerability index has been enhanced, and the water drought prediction index has been developed. Operating systems and display systems for identifying drought-prone areas from satellite data have been established.
Qualitative:
Criteria for evaluating drought-prone areas have been defined to provide supporting information, aiming to enhance efficiency in monitoring and analyzing drought situations. Additionally, personnel potential has been developed in creating a drought monitoring and forecasting system from satellite data.

Utilization:
A prototype drought monitoring and forecasting system has been acquired, capable of analysis and monitoring of the situation. It facilitates reporting on drought conditions to support the operations of agencies involved in water management. This initiative aims to minimize damage to the agricultural sector and people. Additionally, it focuses on developing personnel potential to enable them to contribute to the enhancement of drought monitoring and forecasting systems.

Differences or uniqueness that is different from other projects

A prototype drought monitoring and forecasting system that analyzes droughts in an integrated manner, including meteorology, water resources, and agriculture.

Impacts at the community, country, and global levels

Monitoring and analyzing drought situations are more effective, supporting the operations of relevant agencies in decision-making and systematic water management. This helps reduce risks and damage that may occur due to drought.

Key Message

Drought Monitoring and Forecasting Operating System can predict drought-prone areas at least 3 months in advance and develop a data display system to support relevant agencies in water management planning. Ready to provide efficient support for drought management services.
