About

The Environment Agency (England) is well known in the industry for their extensive benchmarking of 2D solvers for Flood Risk Management (see 2013 benchmarking report). Equally as impressive but less publicly known is their framework for assessing flood model quality – ensuring models meet requirements, use relevant data and avoid major errors. Join us for a webinar with the EA covering:
• Role of the EA
• Why QA matters for flood models
• EA’s assessment process
• Tips for model reviews
• QA tools on Flood Platform
You’ll hear practical advice from the EA on effective model checks and see a demonstration of how Flood Platform are working together with the EA to streamline these processes.
