Tsunami warning system: India to do 3D mapping of coast
Hyderabad: India is taking up 3D mapping of coastal areas as part of its efforts to further improve the tsunami early warning system. On the 10th anniversary of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami Friday, Minister for Science and Technology and Earth Sciences Harsh Vardhan said under the pilot project 3D Geographic Information System mapping of Cuddalore and Nagapattinam was being taken up. "We are in the process of developing a protocol which can be replicated in future," he told reporters after inaugurating a national workshop on 'Indian tsunami early warning system: progress, challenges and future road map'. Pointing out that 26 percent of India's population lives in coastal areas, the minister underlined the need to sustain the efficient warning system and to make persistent efforts to educate people.
