Mastering the Flow – The case for applying 3Di in your next urban water management project
Mastering the Flow – The case for applying 3Di in your next urban water management project
Applying 3Di in urban water management revolutionizes flood risk assessment and real-time decision-making. Its high-resolution, dynamic simulations model complex water systems, offering precise predictions and actionable insights. This technology enhances resilience by optimizing drainage systems, mitigating flood impacts, and improving the livability of our cities. Additionally, 3Di supports sustainable urban planning by integrating climate change scenarios, facilitating stakeholder collaboration, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Embracing 3Di transforms traditional water management, fostering smarter, data-driven strategies that safeguard urban areas against future water-related challenges.
3Di is hydrodynamic simulation software for pluvial, fluvial, and coastal floods. Together with Stelling Hydraulics, Deltares and the Delft University of Technology we started developing 3Di in 2010. The software is now being developed & designed by Nelen & Schuurmans Technology. Furthermore, it is being used by RoyalHaskoningDHV, TecoTec, Civicon, Nelen & Schuurmans Consultancy, Natural Eco Capital and other consultancy and engineering firms. It is applied in both urban and rural areas around the world.
The Modeller Interface
3Di can be accessed through the well-known software QGIS. This open-source Geographic Information System Software has many other plug-ins available which make the combination of 3Di for spatial planning in urban areas powerful. Moreover, the modeller interface makes the model building process seamless for users of the open-source QGIS application. This makes the overall process of building models more time efficient.
The API for endless opportunities
Unique about 3Di is the combination of fast simulations, interactive modelling, detail of the schematization and the advanced capabilities to model hydrodynamic processes. 3Di has the most extensive API for hydrodynamic modelling in the world. With the API it is possible to create fully automated workflows from model building to analysing. Any click done by a user in one of the interfaces is available through API endpoints. This makes 3Di for example an ideal tool for operational flood forecasting systems.
