Local Flash Flood warning System

Our Local Flash Flood Warning System uses a combination of data processing, modelling and communication tools to give you the timely and accurate forecasts required to aid in proper decision making. It considers the catchment area as a whole – including flood plain and tributaries – thereby providing a more integrated, flexible and holistic approach to forecasting flash floods.

Conventional flood warning systems mainly focus on discharge predictions in the main rivers. However, local floods in smaller streams and tributaries (not generally covered by conventional warning systems) may cause a large amount of damage – particularly in urban areas.

Our Local Flash Flood Warning System overcomes this challenge by considering the entire catchment area as a whole. The system is based on existing and newly developed components of our MIKE CUSTOMISED by DHI framework. It effectively utilises a large variety of input data, sophisticated mathematical models, and advanced hydrological analysis processes.

Some of the key benefits of the system:

• Ability to effectively forecast local flash floods by covering the entire catchment area
• Frequent forecast updates appropriate for local dynamic rainfall events and storms
• Flexibility in terms of connecting to data sources
