WATER RISK
Flood Risk
Riskscape's Detailed Flood Risk at your Finger tips! Discover Riskscape’s cutting-edge flood modeling technology! Using a 2 meter Digital Terrain Model, our model delivers property-level flood risk insights, surpassing traditional methods. Explore key layers—Flow Direction, Drainage Network, Max Depth, and Flood Risk—visualizing water movement, flood severity, and risk zones with precision. Built on a 1-in-100-year rainfall simulation, our adaptable approach empowers communities, planners, and insurers to prepare for any flood scenario.
Water Surges
What happens when 4,000 cubic meters per second of water surges from the Vaal Dam? Join Riskscape as we model a 1-in-100-year flood event west of Vanderbijlpark! Using our high-resolution Digital Terrain Model and satellite imagery, we reveal flood-prone areas and real-world impacts on homes, roads, and fields. See how Riskscape’s precise flood modeling empowers communities, planners, and insurers to build resilience.
Rainfall
We use state-of-the-art flood modeling to simulate water movement during extreme rainfall events. For present-day risk assessments, we apply Extreme Value Theory (EVT) to high-resolution (4–11km) daily historical observational and reanalysis datasets to estimate 1-in-100-year rainfall scenarios. We're now extending this EVT-based approach to future-focused assessments. By integrating downscaled CMIP6 climate projections (customizable pathways like SSP5-8.5), refined to a 25km resolution, we simulate future extreme rainfall events with enhanced spatial accuracy.
