Flood and drought management is a part of the water management and as such WARMA is responsible for flood forecasting countrywide to improve preparedness to floods. Climate variability and change has affected the frequency of occurrence of water related disasters such as droughts and floods. It is therefore imperative that the country is well-prepared for such events.<br \/>\nSince the year 2019, WARMA has been using the Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS); a flood awareness software or early warning tool derived from the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS). The tool provides daily ensemble forecasts with a horizon of 30 days across global river networks. WARMA has 27 of its hydrometric stations across the country that are linked to this system.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1978 alignright\"
