In 2011, severe floods hit Queensland, Australia, causing an estimated A$2.38 billion damage to the city of Brisbane and the surrounding area.
Ambiental carried out a validation test using actual inundation data and comparing the flood profile predictions from the commonly used national dataset as well as from Ambiental’s 1-in-100 year Flowroute data.
Ambiental’s Flowroute model was considerably more accurate, achieving around 95% accuracy vs. just 37%.
