IFAS (Integrated Flood Analysis System) is a product of ICHARM (International
Centre for Water Hazard and Risk Management) Japan and used
internationally for flood analysis. This product has been customized over
Indus river under the project “Strategic Strengthening of Flood Warning and
Management Capacity of Pakistan” (2012-2014) and transformed into rainfall
runoff forecasting model namely Indus-IFAS. The project was undertaken by
UNESCO with the help of Government of Japan in collaboration with the
Pakistan Met. Department. This model has the capability of forecasting a
flood wave. Additional benefit of this model is that it covers the upstream
Tarbela right from Skardu and the Kabul river catchment (which the FEWS
lacks in the present shape) down to Kotri. The model was handed over to FFD/PMD
in March 2014 and presently running on trial basis during this flood season
for its calibration and validation. Another component of this model is
Rainfall Runoff Inundation (RRI). The most useful tool to manage the flood
water. This component also provided by ICHARM Japan under this
project. |
