as an example: Kabul city region
Study area
Geology
• Till now, separately the surface water simulation and the

region under development under consultation support by
the US Forest Service expert, Dr. Devendra Amatya
• The preliminary integrated modeling results show a
18% (over) difference in water balance and Run-off
analysis comparing to previous studies for which
currently the calibration and validation stage is in
progress.

Daud participated on the workshop “Remediating Metal Mine Contaminated Water
Bodies with a focus on Asian impacted water” in Astana during 2-5 July 2018. The
UK experts, professors were impressed by his research works and Daud was offered
to study in UK, on the PhD program, Durham University. He will continue to work on
the Kabul River Basin project with emphasise more on water quality in his PhD

The United Nations (UN) and organizations such as the United
States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
recommend investing more into proactive rather than re-active
actions in dealing with different events: “1$ spent on risk reduction
saves between $5 and $10 in economic losses from disasters”.
The related proactive actions require development of the proper
methodologi es, real-time data collection and processing with
following modeling prediction analyses.
Kazakhstan, Central Asia, use mostly post-reactive actions and
proactive technologies and methodologies with modeling a
predictive analyses are important in the region. We are working on
the applications of the Continuous Operating Reference Stations
(CORS), which use the Global Navigation Satellite Systems
(GNSS) technology to provide precise spatial positioning, data
harmonization, and enables geodetic data integrity assurance with
real-time data streaming and management in a network mode
using specialized software packages to extend the data coverage
and enable real-time monitoring of the changing earth events.
Moreover, Kazakhstan, as other Central Asian countries, does
have the absolute gravity reference stations. We plan to link our
new gravimetric observations to existing gravity points in order to
perform the conversion from relative to absolute gravity values. It
is important to create a uniform geoid undulation model in the
region. The regional height system is based on normal heights
above the quasi-geoid (which is close to the mean sea level
surface). There are errors between +/-40 cm in most of the region.
Considering the fact that GNSS can achieve sub cm accuracy,
geoid errors are the limiting factor in establishing accurate
heights. To improve this situation, new relative gravimetric
observations need to be made in the entire region . This will
permit the direct use of the GNSS system to observe vertical
heights all over the region with few centimeter uncertainty in
order to monitor precisely any disaster events.
The GNSS geodetic test site allows us to carry out a complex of
scientific and technical tasks for specification of global geodetic and
geophysical parameters and to conduct practical training for
students, undergraduates and other interested persons on
modern GNSS geodetic devices.
The following measures are carried out at the geodetic site:
- contributing for the improvement of the GNSS orbits for real-time
and post-processing computati ons at a global scale;
- improving of the knowledg e of the secular motions due to tectonic
processes in Kazakhstan, Central Asia;
- conducting metrological certification and verification of geodetic
instruments;
- testing of new devices;
- research and improvement of geodetic technologies and methods;
- satellite geodetic measurements, surface topographic surveys,
digital geometric leveling;
- optimization of the creation of special geodetic systems;
- carrying out training activities for the training of personnel and the
development of new instruments and measurement technologies.
This test site is equipped with the following technologies:
- linear calibrated basis;
- stand for the calibration of theodolites and levels;
- Leica base station (GNSS antenna Leica AR-10);
- JAVAD base station (GNSS antenna ChokeRing Ant-Dm).

Currently the GNSS Polygon is used for research and
training purpose by the Afghan, Pakistan and Kazakhstan
researchers.
Other reseachers from Central South Asia and worldwide are
welcome to cooperate and use our GNSS facilities
Presentation about role of GNSS applications at German-Kazakh University
NASA technologies were very helpful for the group of
researchers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kazakhstan.
Capacity building in GNSS GPS technologies are still the big
problem.
These technologies are very sophisticated and dedicated
train-of trainers programs are required in Linux platform and
