If you work with flood risk models, you know that quality assurance is critical, but often complex, time‑consuming, and inconsistent. That’s where the Environment Agency’s QA framework comes in.

The Environment Agency is well known in the industry for their extensive benchmarking of 2D solvers for Flood Risk Management (see 2013 benchmarking report). Equally as impressive but less publicly known is their framework for assessing flood model quality, ensuring models meet requirements, use relevant data and avoid major errors.

What We Cover: 

• The role of the Environment Agency: An overview of the EA’s responsibilities in Flood Risk Management and model assurance.

• Why QA matters for flood models: Understand the risks of poor‑quality models and the benefits of structured, consistent checks.

• The EA’s assessment process: A walk‑through of how flood models are reviewed to ensure they meet requirements, use appropriate data, and avoid major errors.

• Tips for effective model reviews: Practical advice from the EA to help improve the quality and efficiency of your own model checks.

• QA tools on Flood Platform: A live demonstration showing how Flood Platform works alongside the EA to help streamline QA and model review workflows.

Register for this upcoming webinar, hosted by the Australian Water School, to hear directly from the Environment Agency, gain practical insights you can apply immediately, and see how Flood Platform is supporting better, faster flood model assurance.
