Flood warning system

Hydraulic and hydrological risk

Flood warning system

Description

The flood warning system allow collecting information about river and precipitation conditions, i.e. all those events that have a direct impact on their conditions. Data collection and transmission are ensured regardless of the speed and intensity of the event, due to the redundancy of transmission devices included in the system and the reliability of the sensors being used. Furthermore, by studying the evolution of past events and by applying forecast models, potential risk scenarios can be identified and therefore a valid information technology support can be provided to manage and examine the flood and any alerts properly.

main measurements

Rain intensity and accumulation
Hydrometric level
River flow rate
