India and The Netherlands both face increasing flood and drought risks due to urbanization and climate change, while current water disaster management strategies are inadequate. This project aims to develop the knowledge and tools to mitigate future water disasters through an integrated understanding and multi-scale modeling of droughts and floods. Remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are used to improve predictions. Socio-economic impacts will be assessed, adaptation measures co-created with stakeholder input, and guidelines provided to decision-makers. Study sites will demonstrate new approaches to disaster management and support acceleration and replication through knowledge sharing and peer learning.
