The construction of a real-time flood warning system in Hanoi will quicken as technical cooperation between the National Hydro-Meteorological Service (NHMS) and the Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) progresses.

Nguyen Kien Dung, Director of the Application Centre under the NHMS, said that through technical support from the DHI, data on terrain, river and drainage systems for eight inner-city districts has been collected and a high-resolution map of flood risks in eight districts was created.
