PROBLEM

The excess of water during a flood is harmful and so is the lack of it, in a drought-struck zone. Minimizing the damage calls for a sophisticated approach, where we can shift the surplus water from a flooded region for storage and later usage in harsh weather conditions.

SOLUTION

Using AquaSHIFT we suggest the possible links between places with feasible distance for water transfer. These links can be studied and analyzed in depth, to assess the viability of the solution, constrained to the terrain and climate.

Why AquaSHIFT?

Floods and droughts affects more than 50 million people every year owing to its destructive nature. The same resource - water is responsible for both, in one area its excess, in the other its lack. Our tool aims to provide an analytical solution to transfer surplus flood water to neighboring drought-prone regions in order to minimize the losses on both sides.
