Development of a dedicated sub-system based on remote sensing and a common used
GIS platform that will allow the storage, management and exchange
of graphic Information and of related attribute data for the flood
monitoring activities. This system will improve the floods management
and mitigate theirs effects in the Romanian - Hungarian transboundary
test-area.
