Linking ICT and society in early warning and adaptation to hydrological extremes in mountains

摘要: The assessment of the societal impact hydrolog- ical extremes is particularly important in mountain regions, since mountains can be considered both as generators and victims extreme events. ICT provide a powerful tool for transmitting hydro-meteorological information to predict, prepare adapt such However, remote re- gions, mountains, poles, deserts islands, pre- ventive adaptive measures are often restricted by data availability lack and/or incoherence networks.
