5.2 Conclusions
To determine the macro-economic effects of the PowerCem technology in flood risk areas,
PowerCem Technologies in close collaboration with UNESCO-IHE has developed a model
wherein with local data as input; accurate output estimations can be made.

The results obtained in this study are based on the extent of floods from the period of 28-06-
2011 to 07-05-2012. Based on the extent of these floods, the amount of roads located in the
flooded areas are determined.
