Disclaimer
The Mekong River Commission (MRC) makes this data available as a service to
the peoples of the Mekong River basin.
The MRC does not guarantee the data is current nor does it
guarantee that the data, the data capturing processes or the flood forecasting
methodologies are free from corruption or error.
Flood forecasting data is produced using internationally
accepted methodologies with due care. However the accuracy of the predictions
cannot be guaranteed. It must also be noted that the accuracy of predictions
decreases with each day away from the recorded level.
It must be recognized that these flood level predictions
rely on 5 day rainfall forecasts. The reliability of these rainfall forecasts
drop with each day and these doubts are reflected in the flood predictions the
MRC produces.
Data users are cautioned to consider carefully the
provisional nature of the information provided. Individual judgment must be
employed before using the data for decisions that concern personal or public
safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or
operational consequences.
