Using GEOGLOWS to gather data
In Bangladesh, GEOGLOWS can be used to monitor and model streamflow and water quality in the major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Meghna rivers. To address this, the Bangladesh Flood Forecast and Warning Center (FFWC) developed an application that uses the ECMWF ensemble forecasts through a streamflow prediction tool API. The Tethys application displays the forecasts at each of the transboundary rivers, providing a probabilistic forecast with a lead time of 15 days.
