By 2050, England is predicted to need an extra 5,000 megaliters (Ml) of water every day to meet rising demand.  However, this demand is not evenly spread across the country.  The Grand Union Canal Transfer is one of several schemes designed to improve the resilience of the water supply by transferring recycled water from the Midlands to the Southeast.

Expanding on his award-winning presentation at this year’s Flood Modeller Conference, I-Hsien Porter, Hydraulic Modeler at JBA Consulting, demonstrates how his team is using Flood Modeller. Traditionally used for assessing flood risk, the software is being used to support this nationally significant water resource project.

In this webinar, I-Hsien explores how Flood Modeller has been used to model the transfer route, enabling rapid and cost-effective testing of design options. He also highlights the innovations involved in applying the software to a new, non-flooding application, demonstrating its versatility in tackling future water challenges.
