Details

Executive Summary :

In this project, it is proposed to develop a web-based framework for statistical downscaling (SD) using Machine Learning (ML) algorithims. The tool will facilitate local water management professionals in evaluating sub-grid-level future climate predictions to account for the potential impact of climate change on hydroclimatic variables at any location in India. The interacive user-freindly web-based or desktop tools are expected to ease themodelling processand aid in the decision-making for end-users/practiciting engineers with limited or no knowledge in either ML or SD
