The project aimed to prepare river basin plans and hydropower development master plans with a focus on strategic environmental and social assessment for the entire nation. The services provided by the experts encompassed a comprehensive review of available information on physiographic features, ground and surface water resources, climate, precipitation, and river flows, verifying the data for different river basins and sub-basins. In order to achieve project’s objectives, the team utilized advanced hydrological modeling tools, including the physically based distributed hydrological model MIKE SHE, the one-dimensional river flow simulation model MIKE 11, and the river basin modeling and planning tool MIKE HYDRO BASIN.
