HYDROLOGICAL ANALYSIS
Effortlessly unlock flood hydrology
Flood Modeller provides the tools, data, and industry-standard methods needed to perform hydrological analysis, flood estimation, and catchment assessment with confidence. Through Hydrology+, you can rapidly derive design flows and flood hydrographs, assess catchment response, and apply the latest UK flood hydrology guidance - all within a single, integrated environment.
Optimal hydrological methods
Flood Modeller encompasses over 10 globally recognized hydrological methods, including SCS and Green-Ampt methods and Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH).
Integrated hydrology and modeling
Removing barriers between hydrologists and modellers, Flood Modeller allows seamless application of hydrology within 1D and 2D models. Removing the frustration of having to convert or process results, saving you time and reducing the risk of error.
Climate change impacts
Rapidly evaluate the potential impacts of climate change within your model using our toolbox of hydrological methods that can be adapted to incorporate global and local climate change science.
Why use Flood Modeller?
As the only software to provide direct, fully integrated access to the latest WINFAP and ReFH2 tools from Wallingford HydroSolutions, Flood Modeller helps hydrologists, flood risk consultants, and hydraulic modellers produce robust, auditable hydrological assessments that support flood risk assessments, planning applications, infrastructure design, and regulatory approval.
Hydrology+ digitises the entire hydrological workflow, from data collection and catchment schematisation to analysis, reconciliation, reporting, and application within hydraulic models. The result is a more consistent, repeatable, and efficient approach to hydrological analysis that reduces manual effort and improves confidence in your results.
Direct access to UK hydrological data
Access a comprehensive range of hydrological datasets from the Environment Agency, SEPA, and the UKCEH National River Flow Archive. Visualise, interrogate, and quality-check gauge data directly within Flood Modeller, reducing delays in data acquisition and improving confidence in your analysis.
Catchment analysis and schematisation
Define catchments, analyse catchment characteristics, and prepare hydrological models using intuitive GIS-based tools. Streamline the transition from raw spatial data to flood estimation and hydrological analysis while maintaining transparency and consistency throughout the workflow.
FEH catchment descriptors
Efficiently import, manage, and review FEH catchment descriptors within a centralised database. Track data updates, maintain a complete audit trail, and ensure the correct catchment information is applied throughout the hydrological assessment process.
ReFH2 and WINFAP integration
Access the latest flood estimation and rainfall-runoff methods directly within Flood Modeller through native integration with ReFH2 and WINFAP. Guided workflows simplify analysis, helping you efficiently derive flood frequency curves, design flow estimates, and flood hydrographs ready for application within hydraulic models.
Reporting-ready hydrological outputs
Generate transparent, traceable hydrological outputs that support flood risk assessments and regulatory submissions. Automated calculations and standardised outputs help ensure consistency, reduce manual effort, and simplify the reporting process.
Comprehensive hydrological methods
Apply the most appropriate hydrological approach for your project using a wide range of recognised methods, including FEH, ReFH2, SCS, Green-Ampt, reservoir hydrology, and permeable catchment techniques. Stay aligned with the latest industry developments through support for FEH22, UKCP18, and ReFH2.3.
Climate change scenario analysis
Assess future flood risk with confidence using the latest UKCP18-based climate change guidance from the Environment Agency, SEPA, Natural Resources Wales, and the Department for Infrastructure. Rapidly compare climate change scenarios and understand their impact on rainfall, catchment response, design flows, flood hydrographs, and future flood risk.
Unified data management
Store hydrological data, analysis outputs, and project information within a secure, structured database. Benefit from version control, auditability, and improved quality assurance while reducing the risk of data loss and human error.
