Yesterday, a meeting of ICEREG (Ice-jam flood risk management in Latvian and Lithuanian regions with respect to climate change) project experts took place at the Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service.
The meeting was attended by 20 participants, including project managers, financial specialists, experts, and researchers working on improving the accuracy of forecasting and managing ice jam-induced floods in the context of climate change.
During the meeting, the results of the project’s second phase were discussed, including the analysis of historical data, the development of a conceptual model, climate change analysis, and insights from pilot areas in the Mūša and Lėvuo rivers.
Based on the project’s findings, the upcoming period will focus on improving the ice jam warning system in Lithuania by incorporating both historical analysis and climate scenarios.
The Project is funded by the European Union’s Interreg VI-A Latvia–Lithuania Programme 2021–2027
