WISDOM at Mekong Flood Forum organized by MRC in Vientiane, Laos

The 8th Annual Mekong Flood Forum was organized by the Mekong River Commission in Vientiane Laos in end of May 2010. About 125 registered participants with a wide professional background of several countries participated with the overall goal to share latest Mekong related water management issues. WISDOM submitted and presented two full papers. The information system was introduced by Florian Moder and the second presentation was held by Erich Plate, giving an overview of the latest results of the WISDOM project. The feedback given by the audience was very positive and it became evident that a closer cooperation between MRC and WISDOM would make sense in the approaching Phase II, due to the fact that both sides could complement each other in the fields of geo informatics, remote sensing, socio economy, hydrology and information dissemination.
