The objective of Mekong-HYCOS was to establish and operate a real-time flood information system in the Mekong basin with Cambodia, Lao, Thailand and Vietnam as participating countries. Therefore, the project contributed to the consolidation of the technical and institutional capacities of the NMHSs in the partner countries, as well as to the reinforcement of the hydrometeorological observing networks, that provide timely information of consistent quality, transmitted in real time to national and regional databases.
