[ Additional information required]
The Flash Flood Prediction Tool for Nepal provides 54-hour flash flood forecasts for 12,428 river segments in Nepal. The tool provides predicted estimates for flash floods from localised extreme weather phenomena like convective storms and thunderstorms. It uses the precipitation forecasts from the High-Impact Weather Assessment Toolkit (HIWAT) as inputs into the Routing Application for Parallel computatIon of Discharge (RAPID) hydrological model to estimate streamflow in the river network. This tool complements information generated by the Streamflow Prediction Tool for Nepal and can be used as part of a decision support system for flood forecasting services. It can assist decision makers and managers in providing flood early warnings and response decisions during extreme events in small river catchments.
