Assessment


Ten years along different Flood Early Warning Systems in Spain, and academic stays or visits to Denmark, Netherlands and UK,  provided experience for a set of Hydro-Meteorological or HYDROMET services:
  • Hydrological monitoring networks with cross-validation of data, and real time workflow design and exploitation, managing two Delft-FEWS flood forecasting systems.
  • Prediction at catchment scales: reservoir management and hydropower.
  • Remote sensing exploitation from satellites using several reflectance bands.
  • Statistical treatment for extreme events and return periods, evaluation of Climate Change trends and regression models.
  • Flood forecasting and risk management: mitigation and resilience policies,  dam breaching and tailings dam effects, all supported by modelling with 2D software: FLO-2D, HEC-RAS, Iber, Infoworks ICM, academic Lisflood-FP, Mike Flood, RiverFlow2D, academic Trent.   
  • Data-assimilation and coupling with Hydrological schemes:  Deltares-HBV, DHI-NAM, UPV-Tetis. 
  • Artificial Intelligence algorithms for segmentation of large bulks of HYDROMET data.

Relevant works:
  • Short-term consultancy for the World Bank (Water Europe and Central Asia),  March-June 2022, extended to end of the project: Flood Risk Management Plans for Romania, https://inundatii.ro/. Senior Hydraulic Modelling and Data Expert. 
  • Reconquista river Flood Early Warning System, review of ToR documentation related to sensor types, locations and IT storage. Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2017. Clients: Hydronia LLC (Florida, USA) and Inter-American Development Bank.                                                                                                                                                          
  • Technical support in developing a FLO-2D simulation, hyperconcentrated sediment flow for the Rimac valley and delta at Lima, Perú.

Please consider to present your research at the first Argentine-Uruguayan Congress of Computational Mechanics, 6-9 th November, Concordia & Salto cities, there is a session about Hydrodynamics and Transport for water bodies . Spanish, Portuguese and English are official languages. Other sites where we can meet and discuss in the short term:   GNSS-IR short course  and  CONAGUA 2023 .

The argentinian national water congress ,  August 28-30, was very dynamic with a lot of young researches. As part of IHLLA , two posters related to flood modelling and discharge time series forecasting with neural networks were presented. The links to the extended abstracts in spanish and bibliography  are here: Flood Modelling with a diffusion wave approximation over FABDEM between Parish and Cacharí. Discharge forecasting with a LSTM neural network applied to Azul basin DB.
