To reduce the human and economic cost of floods by delivering timely, science-based forecasts and warnings for the people and institutions of Bangladesh.
The Flood Forecasting & Warning System exists to turn the physics of the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna basin into decisions that protect lives, land and livelihoods.
Operating within the Institute of Water Modelling, the system couples atmospheric, hydrological and hydrodynamic models to anticipate river behaviour days in advance — long enough for communities and agencies to act.
Extend actionable forecast lead time across the main rivers and the flash-flood-prone north-east.
Translate model output into station-level status that non-specialists can read at a glance.
Support BWDB and partner agencies with tools, data and training for operational forecasting.
