Integrated Study on Hydro-Meteorological Prediction and Adaptation to Climate Change in Thailand (IMPAC-T)

Concept description:

As all of us aware, due to the social developments, such as economic growth, demographic change and urbanization, people in the world are more exposed and vulnerable for natural disasters, particularly against floods and droughts in Asia. At the same time, projected climate change will exacerbate the impacts of hydro-meteorological extreme events in coming decades. This special collection of Hydrological Research Letters is dedicated for an international project named IMPAC-T, “Integrated Study Project on Hydro-Meteorological Prediction and Adaptation to Climate Change in Thailand”, which was expected to tackle with these anticipated issues in Thailand and neighboring regions. IMPAC-T has been a technical cooperation and joint research project for Thailand, supported by Government of Japan. The Project was formulated with a view to proposing a prototype of comprehensive hydrological information system to support the decision-making by Government of Thailand on w
ater-re lated climate change.
