River-Basin Flood Risk Modelling

Hydro-flattened DEM production and 100-year flood-extent modelling across a 14,000 sq km basin for early warning.

The Challenge

Where the client started

A disaster agency responsible for a flood-prone river basin had hazard maps drawn a generation ago — before embankments moved, channels shifted and hundreds of settlements grew inside the floodplain.

The Outcome

Where they ended up

The model reproduced historic flood extents with 92% fit. All 620 basin villages now carry depth-based risk ratings, and the agency’s early-warning dashboard issues advisories keyed to the new scenarios.

Our Approach

How we delivered

1

Hydro-flattened DEM production with breakline hydrography across the full basin

2

Flow modelling calibrated against three historic flood events with documented fit

3

100-year and 25-year inundation scenarios with depth grids, not just extents

4

Village-level exposure assessment joining inundation depth to settlement and population layers

Deliverables
  • Basin hydro-flattened DEM
  • Calibrated inundation scenarios
  • Depth-grid hazard layers
  • Village exposure rankings
  • Early-warning dashboard layers
