Smart Water Magazine is set to host an insightful webinar on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 12:00 UTC+1, focusing on the critical role of sewer network data in urban flood modelling. This event is part of the successful Autodesk Water Webinar Series, bringing together industry experts to discuss key advancements in water management and modelling.
Addressing urban flooding challenges
With urban pluvial flooding becoming an increasing concern worldwide, experts emphasize the importance of 2D/1D dual drainage models in managing flood risks. However, the effectiveness of these models hinges on the accuracy and completeness of sewer network data. This webinar will examine how different sewer networks perform using advanced hydraulic modelling techniques and their implications for flood risk mitigation.
Expert speakers and real-world case studies
The webinar will feature Paolo Tamagnone, Scientific Technical Lead & Flood Modeller at RSS-Hydro, who will present findings from two case studies: Differdange (Luxembourg) and Osuna (Spain). His presentation will explore how urban flood models can be optimized, assessing the impact of sewer network data completeness on flood hazard assessment and model reliability.
Also joining the session is Caryn Novak, Civil and Environmental Engineer at Autodesk Water, who will bring additional expertise to the discussion, offering a well-rounded analysis of flood modelling challenges and technological advancements.
