Commission to release new real-time Mekong monitoring app

PHNOM PENH: The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is set to launch a mobile application called ‘One Mekong App’ between July and August this year, to provide communities along the river with push alerts and notifications about weather conditions, disasters, floods and droughts.

The app was developed to support the information sharing of MRC core river monitoring network functions and covers a broad range of areas including water quality, hydrology, sediment, environmental health, fisheries, climate, hydropower operations and flood and drought monitoring and forecasting.
