Explore how to transform flood models from single-use project components into enduring, reusable assets that deliver long-term value in this comprehensive webinar. Learn about the significant costs associated with flood modeling projects and discover why these critical decision-making tools—comprising files, code, and result sets—are often abandoned after project completion despite their potential for ongoing use. Examine current modeling practices and their limitations, including poor data management, inadequate knowledge transfer, and insufficient decision tracking that prevent model reuse. Discover strategies for treating flood models as lasting assets similar to sewer network models, with practical examples from NSW SES flood management, England's National Flood Risk Assessment, and Sydney Water's model provenance initiatives. Gain insights into extracting maximum value from flood modeling investments while improving management practices for enhanced sustainability. Watch a live demonstration of the innovative Flood Platform, a web-based tool specifically designed for managing, simulating, and analysing hydraulic models, showcasing practical applications for modern flood model management and analysis.
