Insights
We have rolled out our solution to 100+ monitoring stations of Malawi's Department of Water Resources and the Department of Climate Change & Meteorological Services. The stations are located across the country in Districts and river basins of strategic importance to the Government's efforts in developing water and managing climate risks.
We ramped up our capacity building efforts for government staff, alongside developing our Data Center to deliver a great user experience.
We will be validating data against WMO standards and earth observations. And next we make the solution and unified data platform ready for further scaling and operations.
Results
100+ observation stations for river levels and rainfall levels are providing daily measurements.
Deployment with in-field training took just over a week.
Staff at DWR and DCCMS and district offices will access their data in near real-time.
