PRDN - Natural Disasters Warning and Mitigation
   

Nine months after the beginning of the project, the study tour has taken place as planned during the first week of June 2003. It was a remarkable opportunity for the meetings of the Asian and the European partners through the visit of French and Dutch institutes and sites, after the mid-term seminar postponement because of the SARS epidemy.
- The Asian participants came from the two Asian partners and their associates:
- the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam (MARD) and the National University of Hanoi (Institute of Mechanics),
- the Mekong River Commission Secretariat (MRC) and the 4 National Mekong Committees of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

The sites and the workshops were organised by the National Company of the Rhone River (Lyon, France), SOGREAH Hydraulics Laboratory (Grenoble, France) and TNO Geoscience Institute (Utrecht, the Netherlands). Additional presentations were provided in Grenoble by the Centre for Technical Maritime and Water Studies (CETMEF, Compiegne) and by the Technical Laboratory of Hydraulics and Environment (LTHE) of the Grenoble University of Technology. In the Netherlands, additional presentations were provided by the Storm Surge Warning Service (Den Haag) and the Inland Waters Information Centre (Lelystad) of the Ministry of Public Works and Water Management.
