This webinar examines the challenges facing India’s stormwater, sewer, and flood management systems due to rapid urbanisation, aging infrastructure, and increasing climate pressures. It focuses on the use of integrated catchment modelling with InfoWorks ICM to improve planning and decision-making.
The session covers how modelling can be used to simulate storm and sewer networks, assess flood risks under different scenarios, and identify system constraints and mitigation strategies. It also highlights how data-driven approaches can reduce design revisions, streamline approvals, and support more effective infrastructure investment.
Real-world insights are provided by an industry expert, demonstrating how these tools are being applied in practice to enhance resilience and enable a shift from reactive to proactive water management.
