Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM)
The Associated Programme on Flood Management (APFM) works with over 30 expert partner organizations to support countries in the implementation of Integrated Flood Management (IFM) within the overall framework of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) to maximize net benefits from the use of their floodplains and minimize loss of life and livelihoods.
Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data (FRIEND-Water)
The Flow Regimes from International Experimental and Network Data (FRIEND-Water) initiative is an international research programme that helps to set up regional networks for analyzing hydrological data. It aims to develop better understanding of hydrological variability and similarity across time and space, through the mutual exchange of data, knowledge and techniques at the regional level. The advanced knowledge of hydrological processes and flow regimes gained through FRIEND-Water helps to improve methods applicable in water resources planning and management.
Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP)
The Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) works with over 30 expert partner organizations with the objective of supporting stakeholders at all levels to implement integrated drought management approaches and improve coordination of drought-related efforts.
International Flood Initiative (IFI)
The International Flood Initiative (IFI) is a response to the increasing number of water-related disasters, deaths and widespread socio-economic damage to goods and assets as well as to communities and society itself. IFI promotes an integrated approach to flood management and focuses on research, training, information networking, promoting good governance and providing technical assistance.
WMO Hydrological Status and Outlook System (HydroSOS)
The WMO Hydrological Status and Outlook System (HydroSOS), starting in 2018, strives to build an operational system for assessing the current status of surface and groundwater hydrological systems, and predicting how they will change in the next future, in comparison to normal situations.
The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS)
The Global Flood Awareness System is a global hydrological service delivering hydrological forecasts to registered users since 2011, and now delivers a fully 24/7 operational service.
