  1. LIVING ON THE SLOPE 1

  2. HIS STORY (History) • 140 million years ago the Indian Plate formed part of the supercontinentGondwanaland together with modern Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and South America. • About 90 million years ago, subsequent to the splitting off from Gondwanaland of conjoined Madagascar and India, the Indian Plate split from Madagascar. • Begun colliding with Asia between 55 and 50 million years ago • The collision with the Eurasian Plate along the boundary between India and Nepal formed the orogenic belt that created the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya Mountains • (Source: wikipedia)

  3. SUPER FLOOD (2010) in Pakistan: Very Heavy Rainfall Over NW Pakistan Westerly Wave (Mid Latitude Weather Systems) Monsoonal Zone Monsoon Tracks of Monsoon & Winter Weather Systems (Courtesy PMD)

  4. People Centerd Early Warning System-Key Elements Risk Knowledge Systematically collect data and undertake risk assessments Monitoring and Warning Service Develop hazard monitoring and early warning Dissemination and Communication Communicate risk information and early warnings Response Capability Build national and community response capability

  5. Project OutlineStrategic Strengthening of Flood Warning and Management Capacity of Pakistan

  6. Problem revealed by the flood 2010 and counter measures taken in this project Upper Indus There was limited or no flood forecasting ability for the areas severely damaged by the floods Flood forecasting including upper-Indus will be introduced by a new system utilizing satellite data（A1) Lower Indus Updating flood hazard maps in lower Indus to cover the new inundated areas（A2) The flood devastated the areas where had no inundation experience in the past

  7. Integrated Flood Analysis System (IFAS) User friendly display Satellite-based rainfall data (Quasi-real-time) Satellite information of basin features (Elevation, Land use, Geology) Rainfall observation by satellite （JAXA-GSMaP） Available on internet Courtesy of JAXA Rainfall observation by rain gauge Integrated Flood Analysis System Input satellite rainfall *Empirical self-correction method is also applicable. Create runoff analysis model with GIS Conduct runoff analysis/forecast calculation Flow/water level calculation Reduce/Prevent flood damage Flood forecasting/warning Promoting safe evacuation

  8. Tarbella Dam Realtime flow hydrograph from Existing FEWS Project Component（1/3） A1 IFAS Introduction • Indus-IFAS will be developed in collaboration with the government of Pakistan • Test operation in 2011 • Validation and update in 2012 Geographic area to be covered by Indus-IFAS (enclosed by dotted lines) 4 Integrated Flood Analysis System

  9. Punjnad Project Component（2/3） A2 Flood Hazard Mapping • Update flood hazard maps by using satellite data • Cover lower Indus including newly affected areas by the flood 2010 Proposed Flood Hazard Mapping Area (enclosed by dotted lines) 5

  10. Project Component（3/3） Software Platform for Transboundary and domestic data sharing B A1 • Parameter improvement and enhanced utilization of IFAS A2 Supplementation Human Capacity Development C • Capacity development for IFAS introduction and flood hazard mapping, as well as for their sustainable use 6

  11. Implementation Framework 7
