The purpose of the HYDRO-RDI-Network is to improve and implement river and catchment measurement, mapping and modelling approaches developed mainly in previous academic research projects with collaboration of business partners. HYDRO-RDI-Network will apply a wide variety of methods in development of service packages in relation to flood risk, river habitats, water quality and sustainable river management. The selected business partners represent various sub-areas in the water sector, remote sensing and geoinformatics. These companies have proven their capabilities to collaborate with research institutes based on their previous activities with scientific partners of the HYDRO-RDI-Network.
