Sharma, S.Ruchismita, R.Amarnath, Giriraj[Exploring formal risk management solutions for natural catastrophes review of a meso-level flood index insurance pilot in Bangladesh]Exploring formal risk management solutions for natural catastrophes review of a meso-level flood index insurance pilot in Bangladesh

Climate change, water scarcity and food security are becoming increasingly important topics for the growing population of Africa. Due to a general lack of water resources in semi-arid and arid zones, water is an increasingly scarce input in agriculture. The impact of climate change exacerbates th...


Amarnath, GirirajSimons, G.Sharma, Bharat R.Mohammed, Y.Gismalla, Y.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[Smart-ICT for weather and water information and advice to smallholders in Africa]Smart-ICT for weather and water information and advice to smallholders in Africa

Increasing frequency of drought events coupled uncertainty imparted by climate change pose grave threat to agriculture and thereby overall food security. This is especially true in South Asian region where world’s largest concentration of people depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Indic...

Amarnath, GirirajAmeer, MohamedAggarwal, Pramod K.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[An algorithm for rapid flood inundation mapping from optical data using reflectance differencing technique [Abstract only].]An algorithm for rapid flood inundation mapping from optical data using reflectance differencing technique [Abstract only].

This paper presents algorithm for flood inundation mapping to understand seasonal and annual changes in the flood extent and in the context of emergency response. Time-series profiles of Land Surface Water Index (LSWI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI...


Amarnath, GirirajAmeer, MohamedAggarwal, Pramod K.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[Detecting spatio-temporal changes in the extent of seasonal and annual flooding in South Asia using multi-resolution satellite data.]Detecting spatio-temporal changes in the extent of seasonal and annual flooding in South Asia using multi-resolution satellite data.

Well-targeted programs of conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water can help overcome the problem of both floods and droughts, or in other terms meet the water demands for domestic as well as irrigation needs during the dry season. Addressing this, a novel form of conjunctive use managemen...
