Flood management with innovative approaches, and rehabilitation & recovery

Flood forecasting, vulnerability, and risk assessment

Flood emergency preparedness and early warning system

Flood damage and impact assessment

Flood resilient infrastructure and mitigation works including development of major water storage reservoirs, and drainage infrastructure in low lying areas affected by water logging and salinity

Performance and behavior of flood defenses and management agencies

Flood Hazard analysis and modeling (including the effect of flooding caused by rains within the southern part of Pakistan as well as floods generated in the Indus Basin due to glacial lake outbursts and heavy monsoon rains in the northern parts of Pakistan. The models should consider all kinds of scenarios with special reference to the peculiar geographical landscape and soil characteristics of Sindh, its natural drainage capacity, and the developments done for drainage through RBOD and LBOD systems etc.)

Hydrological and storm surge modeling

Groundwater quality and management and the role of relevant institutions, including SIDA

Climate change impacts: WEF Nexus; Socio-economic impacts; Sensitivity, and uncertainty analyses

Data integration, modeling, and forecasting of extreme events (Floods, droughts, heat waves, GLOFs)
