State of the art within modeling and analyses of urban flooding
DHI participates in the EU FP7 project ‘Collaborative research on flood resilience in urban areas’ (CORFU). The approach adopted in this project aims to quantify the cost-effectiveness of resilience measures and integrative and adaptable flood management plans for different scenarios of relevant drivers: urban development, socio-economic trends and climate changes.
The cities involved in the project are: Barcelona, Beijing, Dhaka, Hamburg, Mumbai and Nice.
As part of the project DHI develops new state-of-the-art real-time flood forecast software and tests and outlines methodologies for urban flood modeling, which will be made publically available.
