2 Hdrological expertise in Finland Hdrological Modeling and Forecasting Sstem (4/4) User and operator interface (mobile) HYDROLOGICAL MODELING AND FORECASTING SYSTEM Public www Water situation description River discharges are low throughout the countr River discharges have decreased during sunn and dr period. Onl light rains are forecasted so discharges will sta low 2
