Raising the Bar on Flood Model Quality Assurance - Webinar

View More Webinars

About

The Environment Agency (England) is well known in the industry for their extensive benchmarking of 2D solvers for Flood Risk Management (see link to Benchmarking the Latest Generation of 2D Hydraulic Modelling Packages below). 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
• Project examples

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 on real projects.
