The network will be able to integrate itself intothe global hydro-meteorological network, meeting the demand for data andinformation.
It is also expected to help raise the accuracy,timeliness and reliability of hydro-meteorological forecasting and warning, andnatural disaster prevention and control, the agency said.
During the 2021-2025, the network has been upgraded,modernised and expanded, especially in the areas prone to natural disastersand climate change. By 2050, the density of automatic hydro-meteorological stationsin Vietnam will be equivalent to that in developed countries worldwide./.
