Advantages of Fluvialycs AI Model Over Traditional Hydraulic Modelling

river with flood

In the world of flood prediction and risk assessment, Fluvialycs uses an unprecedently technology, offering distinct advantages over traditional hydraulic modelling methods. The adoption of Fluvialycs as a source of flood prediction brings unparalleled efficiency, automation, and a comprehensive consideration of various influencing factors.

Traditional modelling with software like HEC-RAS or similar demands significant manual effort and calibration. Fluvialycs, on the other hand, requires minor setting up work to have a continuously running AI model providing automatically the latest flood prediction, eliminating the labour-intensive processes associated with traditional modelling. This efficiency not only saves valuable time but also ensures that flood predictions are available in real-time, allowing for swift and proactive decision-making.

Another key feature of Fluvialycs is the comprehensive consideration of Flooding influencing factors. Traditional hydraulic models often fail in considering critical factors that influence flood events, such as soil content and rainfall patterns of previous days and weeks. Fluvialycs takes a holistic approach, incorporating several additional parameters for a more accurate prediction. Unlike traditional models, our AI model accounts for water content in the soil, rainfall patterns of the previous days, cumulative rainfall over the previous 15 to 30 days, river level patterns, and, when enough data is available, groundwater levels. This multifaceted consideration provides a more comprehensive understanding of imminent flood risks, enabling more effective risk management strategies.

Fluvialycs’ AI model is designed with scalability in mind. While traditional hydraulic models may face limitations in adapting to different geographical regions or diverse data sets, Fluvialycs offers a scalable solution that can be applied worldwide. The efficiency and adaptability of our AI model make it a versatile tool for flood prediction, transcending geographical boundaries and ensuring its relevance in various contexts.

Fluvialycs sets the ground for a new approach in flood prediction that is based on data and statistics, creating an efficient alternative to traditional hydraulic modelling methods. We think that Flood Intelligence should be quick, reliable and efficient, to serve people and their goods, and Fluvialycs can provide this intelligence tool.
