What is Imprex?
IMPREX will improve society’s ability to anticipate and respond to future hydrological extreme events (floods, droughts...) in Europe. It will enhance forecast quality of extreme hydro-meteorological conditions and their impacts. The knowledge developed by the project will support risk management and adaptation planning at European and national levels.
