The proposed technical assistance aims to strengthen water management and increase adaptation to climate variability and climate change with specific focus on these areas, through the use of a web‐based portal. The drought and flood management portal will allow rapid access and use of freely available, reliable, near real time satellite data and information that can strengthen the basis for informed planning, decision‐making and management action. Aside from extreme events, this initiative will also explore options for using a web‐based information portal that uses satellite data to support more conventional river basin management operations, which is also an area of weakness within Myanmar.
