HydroCity: key to flood-resilient cities

Data acquisition and storage

• Accurate actual and historical hydrological information on precipitation, infiltration, interception, evaporation, surface flow and storage, sewer inflow and storage, and soil moisture;
• Accurate and up-to-date geographical information on the city surface; 
• Online access to data from sources such as telemetry, remote sensing (satellites, radar and aircraft) and the general public.

Data analysis and modelling

• Data from various sources converted into user-friendly maps and graphs;
• Access to advanced online modelling tools using real-time data such as catchment-specific storm-water runoff models. 

Decision-support applications
