INCA (Integrated Catchment model)

INCA (Integrated Catchment model) is a computer tool used to simulate and analyze water flow within a river basin. It considers various factors like rainfall, land use, soil types, and human activities to predict how water moves, accumulates, and impacts the environment. By integrating these elements, INCA helps scientists, engineers, and policymakers understand water availability, quality, and flood risks, supporting effective management and decision-making to protect water resources and ecosystems.
