2.1Solution 2 · Line of intervention

Water & Climate Resilience

Will the water be enough? Which areas are exposed to floods? Operators, companies with site requirements and designers must decide even with discontinuous measurements.

What the line of intervention includes

Solution 2 · Line 2.1: the services can be activated individually or together, depending on the project and the phases agreed.

How it works

Resource, demand and floods with relevant models and scenarios

We analyse resource and demand, reconstruct basins and networks, and develop hydrological and hydraulic models and relevant climate scenarios. Water balances, flood maps and adaptation criteria support planning, maintenance and sizing.

01

Resource and demand

Availability of the resource, consumption and their variability.

OutputWater balance

02

Basins and networks

Reconstruction of basins, networks and works, even with discontinuous measurements.

OutputBasin and network layout

03

Models and scenarios

Hydrological and hydraulic models and relevant climate scenarios.

Adaptation

Distinct questions

Four aspects not to be confused

Water availability, drought, flooding and asset vulnerability require different data and models: we distinguish them from the outset.

Water availability

How much water there is and how much is needed, today and under scenarios.

Drought

Periods of scarcity and their effects on uses.

Flooding

Areas exposed to floods and expected levels.

Asset vulnerability

Exposed works and facilities, and intervention priorities.

Output

What you receive and what it is for

Every output states its sources, assumptions and limits, so that it can be used in decisions and in later phases.

Water balances

Planning the use of the resource.

Flood maps

Identifying exposed areas and priorities.

Adaptation criteria

Sizing and maintaining works.

What we clarify

Before starting

Limits, responsibilities and links with the other services, clarified at the start of the assignment.

Deep dive: what data are needed to assess drought at a site?

Uncertainties, scale and time horizons

Each scenario reports uncertainties, scale and time horizon. No study can promise the absence of risk.

Constraints and procedures

If the intervention requires studies for authorisation procedures, the work links to Solution 1.

Data updates

To keep data and indicators up to date over time, the work continues with Geospatial Intelligence & Monitoring.

First step

Let’s talk about your site’s needs

Share the area, consumption or available water series, works and known issues: we define the data and scenarios needed.

Where do we start?

What it may be useful to share

Area or site

Consumption or available water series

Works involved

Known issues

Even discontinuous measurements are a starting point.

Let’s talk about your project

Share your need, location and stage of the work.

A few lines are enough: the decision to support and the data already available.
