Tool: Kalypso

Description

Kalypso is a multi-module program for calculations about hydrology (rainfall-runoff), water-level analysis, 1D/2D analysis, flood calculation, and risk determination. All these modules are linked together. The main focus is on deterministic hydrological calculations of river basins and floods. The user can start with hydrological analysis, which takes into account elements such as precipitation, rainfall, etc., and then continue to the risk calculation. It was originally built for German river locations. The risk calculation uses land-use data based on user input. The resolution of the calculations is quite nice, while the complexity of the modules decreases moving from the hazard to risk, meaning that the hydrological part is quite complex, while the modules for flood and risk are rather simple.
