R&D finding
Improving sediment-flow calibration in mountain river EWS
Our in-house research lab's latest findings on refining sediment monitoring thresholds for more reliable flood forecasting.
Photos from the field
Sediment loading in mountain rivers can mask the true water level, degrading flood-forecast accuracy. Our lab tested a refined calibration approach.
By separating sediment-driven signal noise from genuine water-level rise, the refined thresholds reduced false alarms in trial basins.
