China unveils 3-year hydrology upgrade plan
China has launched a three-year plan (2026-2028) to modernize hydrological services with the aim of improving flood and rainfall monitoring and forecasting. This will be achieved through expanding the monitoring system using satellites, radars, and rainfall and water measurement stations. The plan includes upgrading the national network of measurement stations, developing a three-tier forecasting system, strengthening water resource management, and encouraging scientific innovation along with updating sector governance. By 2028, it is expected that the system’s application for monitoring major basins will be expanded to enhance their ability to issue early warnings more accurately and effectively.
