The Sindh Irrigation Department (SID), under the World Bank-funded Sindh Resilience Project, aims to strengthen institutional capacity for managing flood and drought risks through improved preparedness, hazard assessments, and rapid disaster response tools. Hazard management in Sindh relies on limited information and localized knowledge. Leveraging advancements in technology, the project emphasizes real-time hydro-meteorological data integration, remote sensing, and GIS tools to enhance hazard assessment and prediction methods, enabling more efficient and effective disaster management in the arid region.
