3D mapping and analysis technology developed by the Israeli startup GeoX is being incorporated into a broad project funded by the World Bank to protect residents of Ghana in West Africa from reoccurring floods and subsequent damage.

The Israeli technology performs an accurate 3D mapping of the topography and generates a model that helps estimate which areas will be flooded during exceptional rain events. Residents in the path of floods and mudslides can be warned ahead of time.

In addition, the technology is being used to design a dam and protection system from the river tides to reduce the risk of floods.
