This session focuses on how flood risk modelling supports the delivery of robust Flood Risk Assessments, with a particular emphasis on the practical use of Flood Modeller. It builds directly on the first webinar in this series, moving from what a Flood Risk Assessment involves to how modelling is undertaken in practice. 

In this webinar, Konrad Adams, Associate Director of Software Development at Jacobs, uses real-world examples to explore how appropriate modelling approaches are selected and applied, including 1D, 2D and linked models, and how these choices influence the quality and suitability of FRA outputs.

Attention is given to the preparation and use of data, the representation of channels, floodplains and structures, and the generation and interpretation of flood extents, depths and hazard results. The session also touches on how modellers address uncertainty and climate change within Flood Modeller to ensure assessments are proportionate and fit for purpose.
