Aim of this project is to increase the effectiveness of water management in flood, drought, and water quality aspects, as well as to improve the ability on monitoring, forecasting and warning during water crisis, by developing the telemetry system in Mekong basin and Songkhla lake basin. The new telemetry system and mathematical models, to be developed in this project, will be effectively used as monitoring and forecasting tools for water management operation in the entire Kong-Chi-Mun basins and Songkhla lake basin.

Mekong Basin

• Study and design of 11 new telemetry stations. The telemetry stations shall be situated in appropriate locations for meteorological, hydrological and water quality data measurement in Mekong basin in Northeastern region.
  
  
• Link measuring data from 7 MRC’s station in Kong river (AHNIP project)
  
  
• Link measuring data from MRC’s station in Mekong basin (HYCOS project)
  
  
• Study and design of Integrated Water Resources Management center for Mekong basin, consisting of a Master station, situated at Water Crisis Prevention Center, DWR headquarter, Bangkok and a Sub master station at Nong Khai Hydrology Center.
  
  
• Integration with DWR’s Chi-Mun telemetry system and MRC’s telemetry system into the systems developed in this project, i.e. SCADA, DSS and web based data presenting system, to covers the entire northeastern region.

Songkhla Lake Basin

• Study and design of 11 new telemetry stations, which shall be at least 10 stations. The telemetry stations shall be situated in appropriate locations for meteorological, hydrological and water quality data measurement in Songkhla lake basin in Northeastern region.
  
  
• Study and design of Integrated Water Resources Management center for Songkhla lake basin, consisting of a Master station, situated at Water Crisis Prevention Center, DWR headquarter, Bangkok and a Sub master station at DWR Regional Office 8, Songkhla.
  
  
• Study and design of data communication networks, which uses appropriate wire or wireless communication system as communication media.
  
  
• Study and development of mathematical models including Decision Support System (DSS) for water management and for monitoring, forecasting, warning, as well as recommending alternative scenarios during water crisis period.
  
  
• Construction of field stations and related components.
  
  
• River cross sectional surveys, which shall be conducted at the maximum of 5-km intervals, as well as at the locations of hydraulic structures in the river. Rating curve surveys, which shall be conducted at every water level monitoring station
  
  
• Installation of at least 4 CCTV system at water level monitoring station in Mekong
  basin and Songkhla Lake basin.
  
  
• Development of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of chronic floods area. The DEM shall be of resolution suitable for flood plain calculation, as required by DWR.
  
  
• Supply of hardware and software and system commissioning to ensure that the system can work as specified in TOR.
  
  
• Development of database and internet-based data presenting system, of which the web pages can be selected to display the contents in Thai or English.
  
  
• Jointly working with DWR’s appointed officials at master station to commission the system, refine operation guideline, and fine-adjust the system for a period of 360 days.
  
  
• Organizing Public relations seminar on the objectives of the project.
  
  
• Responsible for operating cost for 360 days from the project completion date.
• Warranty of the system and equipment for not less than 720 days from the
  
  project completion date.
