PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In September of 2011 Sutron completed installation of a GLOF Early
Warning System on the Phochhu and Punatsangchhu Rivers. The original
system consisted of 4 stream gauge stations, 2 hydromet stations and
17 siren stations along with a control center in Wangdi. Since that time
Bhutan’s Department of Hydro-met Services (DHMS) has determined that
an expansion of the system in the Moshhu and Tarina Sub-basins would be
prudent in order to improve the early warning system.
Expansion of this GLOF Early Warning System consists 5 new stations
comprised of 2 additional stream gauge stations, 2 additional hydromet
stations and 1 additional siren station. This brings the total system to 6
stream gauge stations, 4 hydromet stations and 18 siren stations.
The water level stations detect a sudden rise in stream levels or a sudden
drop in lake levels. If user-defined threshold values are exceeded, sirens
are activated that are located downstream and in the populated areas.
