Louisiana Watershed Flood Center

The Louisiana Watershed Flood Center is leading the effort to establish a Lafayette-based center for flood research and education. The Flood Center will provide research and development capabilities in different areas related to floods with a focus on integrated watershed solutions.

Among the Flood Center’s research projects:

  • Design of watershed monitoring systems for real-time flood alert and warning applications
  • Flood forecasting and hazard identification
  • Probabilistic analysis and prediction of extreme events
  • Radar-rainfall applications in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
