The Drin River Basin, covering a substantial part of Albania, is of immense importance both economically and environmentally. The basin is not only pivotal for Albania's national electricity production, housing four major hydropower facilities, but it also serves as a unique and complex ecosystem supporting numerous indigenous species. Given its diverse topography, ranging from mountains exceeding 2,500 meters to coastal plains, precise elevation data is crucial for accurately assessing flood risk and its impacts. To address this need, the State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) of Albania provided high-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and national orthophotos, which were instrumental in generating geo-referenced information on areas of potential significant flood risk. This data enabled a detailed analysis of historical flooding, identification of economic assets at risk, and assessment of economic impacts. These insights were critical in formulating policies and strategies for sustainable water resource management under the Drin River Cooperation agreement and were facilitated by the activation of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) by the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) on behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH in Albania.
