Water Related Information System for the Mekong, Vietnam

01.10.2010 - 30.09.2013
Assigned research project

It is the goal of WISDOM to design and implement an Information System for the Mekong Delta, containing information from the fields of hydrology, sociology, information technology and earth observation. The integration of such data will enable the end-user of the system to perform analyses on very specific questions; and thus will supply the end-user with a tool supporting regional planning activities. The project is a joint German-Vietnamse initiative coordinated by the German Aerospace Agency. The TU Wien supports the project by providing soil moisture data derived from microwave remote sensing systems and by supporting the integration of these data into hydrologic models.
