Tool: CityCATUrban Flood Model

Description

A fine resolution, accurate, urban flood model allows th eeffects of land-use change, climate change and Blue-Green infrastructure (e.g. blue-green roofs, permeable areas, swales, water butts) to be simulated, which can improve urban flood resilience and aid the optimum design of a Blue-Green City. CityCAT is a state-of-the-art urban flood modelling system that simulates flow pathways, and water depths and velocities for rainfall events. Buildings, impermeable areas and green areas are explicitly represented in the model. Additionally, the model includes the storm sewer network which is fully coupled to the surface flow model.
