Flood Forecasting

Timely flood forecasting and warning is an effective way of reducing the impacts of flooding to people and property. We have a dedicated team of hydrologists, meteorologists, and software developers who specialise in flood forecasting and warning services. We work with national government agencies and companies to enable effective warning and forecasting.

Flood forecasting and warning system development

We look at your user needs and provide bespoke and off-the-shelf flood forecasting and warning systems as required.

– Delft-FEWS system development and configuration

Capacity Building

We are actively involved in flood forecasting and warning system capacity building projects across the world, supporting authorities and national agencies in developing their own flood forecasting capabilities. These projects are funded by the World Bank or other IFIs.

Development, calibration and performance testing

The models and data underlying the flood forecasting process are crucial. We can advise you on model type and schematisation for all sources of flood risk from localised flooding to flooding from rivers and the sea.

Flood forecast exercise and training

We provide training on all aspects of flood forecast and warning model and system development. We run ‘real time’ flood warning and forecasting exercises, helping authorities to be prepared and ready to act during a flood event.
