Hydrological forecasts and maps
Watershed simulation and forecasting system (WSFS)
Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE) and Regional Environment Centers in Finland have hydrological watershed models in use covering 95 % of the land surface. They are used for forecasting flood discharges, water levels, real-time monitoring, calculation of discharge in point of interest and studies of climate change. Hydrological water balance maps are also created based on results from the system. Forecasts are made daily for 650 discharge and water level observation points. Forecasts are used for regulation, flood damage prevention and general information.
