Glocal Hydrometeorological Solution

Caption

By coupling a large-scale hydrological model with a local-scale, high-resolution hydraulic model and urban flood model while integrating multiple sources of ground and satellite remote sensing data, a "Glocal" (global to local) Hydrometeorological Solution for Floods (GHS-F) has been developed for better preparedness, mitigation and management of flood risk---like that associated with the disastrous mei-yu/baiu rainfall events in 2020---at both national and local scales.
