Abstract
The Design of an Upgraded Data Acquisition, Communication and Flood Forecasting Systems in the EN countries aimed at the designing of upgrade of the real time data acquisition, Flood Forecasting, and Communication capacity within the National Flood Forecasting Centers (NFC) of Egypt, Ethiopia, and Sudan.  It includes software and hardware aspects for real time data acquisition and transmission, the types of forecast information to be generated and the communication systems, and also to link ENTRO to the national forecasting centers. ENTRO is to provide technical back-stopping for NFCs such as data sharing, training, etc.
