Research
The Louisiana Watershed Flood Center provides research and development capabilities in different areas related to floods with a focus on integrated watershed solutions.
Examples of capabilities include:
- Design of watershed monitoring systems for real-time flood alert and warning applications
- Probabilistic analysis and prediction of extreme events
- Radar-rainfall applications in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
- Hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling
- Flood forecasting and hazard identification
- Floodplain delineation and mapping
- Design and evaluation of flood mitigation measures
- Assessment of flood impacts on water quality and habitat variables
- Historical assessment of flood impact on communities
- Sustainability assessment of water resources systems
- Watershed geospatial analysis
- Web-based visualization of hydrologic information
- Custom programming for water resources modeling applications
- Development of research-driven educational innovations in hydrology and water resources
