OneMekong Digital Twin Technology

Digital Twin Technology

Virtual models of real-world Mekong systems — for simulation, scenario testing and better planning across hydrology, climate and agriculture.

A digital twin of the Mekong

OneMekong is building a basin-wide digital twin that integrates hydrology, sediment, fisheries, agriculture and dam operations into one simulation environment. Decision-makers, scientists and communities can run "what if" scenarios — what happens if upstream reservoirs are released early? If monsoon onset is delayed by three weeks? If a sub-basin converts to drought-resistant crops?

Hydrological core

Process-based hydrology calibrated against gauges and SWOT satellite data.

Sediment & fisheries

Sediment transport and fish-migration modules tied to the hydrology core.

Agriculture overlay

Crop-yield modelling for the dominant Mekong cropping systems.

Scenario engine

Run climate, infrastructure and policy scenarios and compare outcomes.

Open API

Query the twin programmatically — same data ministries and researchers use.

Visual dashboards

Pre-built dashboards for non-technical decision-makers.
