Academic Licencing
Students and lecturers in the UK can use Wallingford HydroSolutions hydrological software for educational and research purposes at no cost.
We work closely with universities and colleges, giving them the opportunity to embed key industry tools within their curriculum and teach students how to use commercial software. This enables future graduates to gain essential hands-on experience, giving them a head start when beginning their careers.

What is provided with the academic licence?
Each academic licence provides multi-user access for a 12-month period, enabling entire classes to use the software at once.
A licence can be renewed on an annual basis by submitting an updated academic licence agreement. We manage the extension remotely, making it quick and easy to update.
What software is provided?
Under an academic agreement, we can provide WINFAP which enables you to estimate peak flows and flood frequency curves for gauged and ungauged catchments, using the latest Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) methods.
ReFH2 is also available, which enables you to estimate design and observed flood hydrographs for rural and urbanised ungauged catchments across the UK. Using ReFH2 in conjunction with the FEH Web Service, you can estimate runoff rates and volumes for specific development sites.
Both of these tools can be used alongside Flood Modeller.

How do I access a WINFAP or ReFH2 academic licence?
It's easy! Just fill out the form with your details, and our team will contact you to discuss your specific requirements. We’ll then provide an academic licence agreement, which will need to be signed and completed by a member of the teaching staff.
