What you can do with it

Typical work that data of this type supports.

  1. 01

    Hazard maps

    Map flood-prone areas and who and what is exposed.

    Because it has: Flood

  2. 02

    Model validation

    Check flood models against observed events.

  3. 03

    Design flows

    Estimate 1-in-50 and 1-in-100 year floods for bridges, culverts and spillways.

Where AI adds value

Ideas for machine learning and AI agents built on this kind of data.

  1. 01

    Flood extent from SAR

    Segment flooded areas in radar imagery, even through cloud.

  2. 02

    Depth estimates

    Learn flood depth from terrain, rainfall and past events.

  3. 03

    Flow forecasting

    Train LSTM-style models on past records to forecast river levels and flow days ahead.
