Short summary
To support decision-makers in flood disaster management, a real-time flood monitoring system was established in the Niger and Volta basins under the Water disaster platform to enhance climate resilience in Africa (WADiRE-Africa). The system utilized real-time satellite rainfall data to bridge the gap between data scarcity and inaccessibility and a hydrological model to simulate the inundation extents at basin and hotspot scales. Presently, the prototype system is under testing in both basins.
