Somalia is one of the few countries in the world to have, twice a year (!), the river embankment breakages mapped in extreme detail. This is super important for EW-EA, flood preparedness and eventually saving lives. Kudos to @FAOSWALIM @FAOSomalia. Thanks to @AirbusDefence @Maxar
@FAOSWALIM River Breakages Update: ⚠️ 299 open breakage points identified; 190 on the Shabelle River and 109 on the Juba River that require immediate action ⚠️ 97 Canal flooding points and 747 Overflow points also identified https://t.co/3DoRYsWaWM

FluViSat is a proof-of-concept study that demonstrates the potential of satellite-collected video imagery to provide accurate and timely quantification of water movements and river flows for the...
That went well! 55 slides in 35 minutes....! Oh, the project..? Brilliant - we can measure river flow, accurately, with video & still imagery from space. Now, come and talk to me at BHS 40th next Monday & #HydroSpace23 in Lisbon.

Sharing knowledge and involving local communities are the basis of a successful project. Participatory approach is a key point in these contexts. We are conducting field visits and workshops with stakeholders to enhance our comprehension and understanding the real needs.
