By specifiying a breach width and a dynamic hydrograph Flowroute^TM accurately models inundation from breaches in river and coastal defences as well as for dam breach scenarios. The model set-up is quick and easy to understand, and due to the computationally efficient code, runs in a short period of time.

Flowroute^TM has been used to model breaches of fluvial flood defences for flood risk assessments, and has been recently used as part of a Channel 4 - Dispatches documentary looking at a dam breach scenario.

With Flowroute^TM you can:

• Predict flood extents and depth
• Protect critical assets at risk
• Prevent losses from surface water flooding
• Improve insurance risk rating and loss estimation

Ambiental's team of risk managers and hydrological modellers provides expert advice and data to reduce your exposure to flood risk.
