Although the precipitation in the Pannonian Basin is relatively low it is still an important agricultural area. Wwith the cooperation of Slovenian firm SPACE-SI the project Drought Risk in the Danube Region was carried out with a view to monitor and manage drought there easier.
The project Overview and testing of a sustainable Drought User Service is an upgrade of the previous work. We upgraded web application DroughtWatch provided on cloud infrastructure (CreoDias). We updated the calculation techniques written in an out-of-date programming language and at the same time realized that the application framework needs updating as well. With the wholesale changes we provided a safer and workable application that is ready for further development as well.
