The Nile Research Portal
Cooperative Drought Management in the Eastern Nile Basin
Background
Hydro-climatological data is crucial for multiple agricultural, ecological, and hydrological applications. Nile Research Portal aims to support local, regional and international researchers and practitioners with information-based decision making. This portal is comprised by four main modules: i) a user authentication module, where registered research collaborators can access the platform; ii) an interactive map, where users can explore the location of the ground-based stations; iii) a download panel, where users can retrieve the data; and iv) a comparison module, where users can compare two time series of a selected variable. The hydro-climatological data included in the Nile Research Portal consist of publicly available ground-based streamflow and precipitation time series with their corresponding metadata.
