Hydro-GIS Ltd has been working as part of a team of experts to look at the risk of tailing dam failure in Chile. Our input has included to application of a dam breach model to identify the potential risk to downstream areas and using rainfall runoff modelling to identify the risk of dam failure caused…

Through his role at UCL Dr Harvey Rodda has been supervising four MSc dissertations on storm surges along the English Channel coast, the risk of dam breach flooding in the PeaK District National Park, flash flood risk in Chile, and the relationship between drought periods in Southern Spain and the North Atlantic Oscillation.
The recent implementation of Flood Re to guarantee flood cover for households in the UK has led to an increased interest in the flood risk to insurance company portfolios. Hydro-GIS Ltd were engaged by Axa Art to undertake hydrological field surveys to provide a detailed assessment of the flood risk at six sites which had…
