Why WATMAN?

• Improves ability to respond to emergency
  situations (floods spills)
• DESWAT is providing automatic hazardous flood
  forecast and remote warning system
• WATMAN address to
• Improving dam management and maintenance
• Optimizing flood control structures
• Installing alarm system and sirens
• Bringing intervention and remedial equipment
• Increases efficiency of water allocation and use
• Improves environmental health and ecosystem
  integrity
• Increases ability to comply with EU WFD

WATMAN WARNING SYSTEM

• 1632 sirens installation
• 96 to the important dams from NAARs property
• 1536 sirens installed downstream the dam, in
  urban zones, from the zones with high flooding
  risk and that dont have warning systems
• 41 warning system command centres at WMS level
• 11 call centers 1 back-up national level
• 42 command centres at NCDAD si CCDAD

5.RAPID RESPONSE CENTRES - RRC

• 11 coordonation centres for intervention actions
  at basin level (WD), having intervention
  equipments for accidental spills
• 11 intervention centres at county level (WMS),
  having intervention equipments for floods and
  accidental spills
• 17 intervention centres in case of floods, at
  county level (WMS)
