Perrine Hamel, Assistant Professor at NTU’s Asian School of the Environment, and one of the developers of Urban InVEST gives an overview and demo of Urban Flood Risk Mitigation model.
The focus of the InVEST flood risk mitigation model is that natural infrastructure operates mainly by reducing runoff production, slowing surface flows, creating space for water (in floodplains or basins). The InVEST model calculates the runoff reduction, i.e. the amount of runoff retained per pixel compared to the storm volume. For each watershed, it also calculates the potential economic damage by overlaying information on flood extent potential and built infrastructure.
