This training aims to develop and enhance the capacity of technical officers managing the eStation whose duties are to install,
operate and troubleshoot the eStation.

This is an Online training for DMOs on the use of the FLOOD REPORTER: An Electronic Flood Monitoring & Reporting System

9th - 11th February 2020

The main objectives of this training are to:

• introduce the participants into hydrological and hydraulic modeling;
• identify flood-hotspot areas in order to make a quick flood damage assessment;
• develop a flood monitoring and forecast model.

Installation/Configuration, use and management of the regional database system being developed by the CSSTE Consortium.
