KCC’s latest flood model receives Florida commission’s certification

Florida Water Management Districts recently approved a new flood model to strengthen flood control and bolster resilience against future floods.

The model, created by water and environmental engineers at KCC, received certification from the Water Management Districts for accuracy and detail. The certification ensures that the model can be used to effectively evaluate flood hazards and inform flood management decisions. The new flood model will help water managers address significant flooding issues and improve flood mitigation strategies.

Benefits of the new flood model include:

• More accurate flood mapping, leading to better flood risk assessments.
• Improved flood control and mitigation measures.
• Enhanced resilience to future floods.
• Increased public awareness of flood risks.

The flood model is a valuable tool for water managers, planners, and emergency responders to make informed decisions about flood risk management. It will allow KCC to better predict and mitigate flood risks, making communities safer and more resilient. The model’s certification is a testament to KCC’s commitment to providing innovative and effective solutions for water management. KCC is a leading provider of water and environmental engineering services, helping communities manage their water resources and protect their environment.
