Closing Date: 30 September 2022
Brief Description of ToR: Being able to predict the onset of disasters like floods (fast onset), droughts (slow onset) and pollution (fast and slow onset) is a prerequisite to save lives and protect infrastructure. As our climate continues to change, these extreme events are increasing and become less predictable. Coupled with poor land-use planning and management practices which threaten the quality of our source waters and environment.
There is a need for system(s) that assist decision-making that is data driven and contextualised Proposals must be submitted via the WRC Business Management System at https://wrc.microsoftcrmportals.com/
