2D hydraulic modeling

2D hydraulic modeling is a way to simulate how water flows across surfaces, such as rivers, floodplains, or urban areas. It uses computer software to analyze how water moves in both length and width, capturing complex behaviors like water spreading, depths, and velocities during events like storms or floods. This helps engineers and planners predict potential flooding areas, design effective flood defenses, and make informed decisions to protect communities and infrastructure. By visualizing water movement in two dimensions, it provides a detailed understanding of flood dynamics in real-world environments.
