Key elements
Protection of People, Assets and
Environment
Knowledge exchange is critical, but is challenging and changing:• Governments have traditionally
driven flood management.
• Owners/Operators are increasingly proactive to protect assets and understand risks.
• Consultants continue to be relied upon to provide flood modelling studies and results interpretation.

The traditional approach does not always answer key and common issues:
Issues Determination
How can I provide an effective and efficient emergency response planning (ERP) in the
event of a flood crisis?
What areas are the most vulnerable and what is
the anticipated cost associated with the flood? Do I have the same risk profile as
everyone in the floodplain?
How long will the flood impact my asset, my
city, my operation? Can we change our operation
to limit the damages?
waterRIDE is an internal software package developed by Advisian that provides overall post-processing and interrogation of hydrodynamic spatial and temporal datasets.
