The Mekong River Commission (MRC) is set to launch a mobile application called ‘One Mekong App’ between July and August this year, to provide communities along the river with push alerts and notifications about weather conditions, disasters, floods and droughts.
The app was developed to support the information sharing of MRC core river monitoring network functions and covers a broad range of areas including water quality, hydrology, sediment, environmental health, fisheries, climate, hydropower operations and flood and drought monitoring and forecasting.
“The mobile app development has reached a major milestone, with a preview version now available. A full release is aimed for July-August 2024 after incorporating the latest updates.
“Users will be able to find it on both Android and iOS platforms, available for download from the Google Play Store and the App Store. To achieve this, we ensure that the MRC mobile app meets the needs of users from various locations and language backgrounds,” stated a post on the MRC website.
