Title:
Applying HydroSim™ to Quantify the Benefits of Green Infrastructure
Agreement Number:
1039960
Agreement Value:
$150,000.00
Agreement Date:
Feb 23, 2026 - Mar 22, 2027
Description:
This project advances a new, physics-based flood-modelling capability that quantitatively evaluates the real-world performance of existing and planned green infrastructure as a climate adaptation solution. NOAH's HydroSim engine introduces a novel large-area hydraulic modelling approach by integrating high-resolution computational datasets, two-dimensional surface flow modelling, one-dimensional urban drainage hydraulics, and property-level reporting. This integrated framework reveals flood hazards at spatial resolutions previously unavailable, enabling rigorous assessment of how green infrastructure installations reduce surface flood risk under climate-driven extreme weather conditions and supporting evidence-based validation.
