Database collects information on deltas

The State Key Laboratory of Estuarine and Coastal Research of East China Normal University has launched a database providing scientific research data crucial for the sustainable development of estuarine and deltaic regions.

The database, which is part of the Mega-Delta Programme of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030), can be accessed through the program's website at www.deltadatabase.tech.

Data related to the Danube, Indus, Ganges and Nile river delta regions are currently available on the database, which includes information about hydrology and water resources, water and soil quality, land use and socioeconomic data.
