Millennium Fellowship Project: Integrated Flood Control for Masinga Dam
This project focuses on developing a Web GIS–based system to support flood prevention and sustainable water management around Masinga Dam and the Tana River. The system integrates spatial data, hydrological information, and flood risk mapping to visualize vulnerable areas, monitor water levels, and support informed decision-making. By providing accessible, map-based information, the project aims to improve preparedness, reduce flood impacts on communities, and promote better management of water resources along the river system.
