This multi-disciplinary project aims to develop an intricate city-scale digital twin, unifying diverse system models such
as hydrological, hydraulic, water resource management, resilience, and governance for augmenting disaster response to urban water-related extremities. We aspire to hone predictive accuracy of system behaviour during hydrological extremes and boost urban resilience by utilizing complex system modelling and integrating human behavioural aspects into the digital twin.
The project will develop a highly accurate, interactive digital twin that replicates a city's urban topography, infrastructure, hydrological patterns, and human behaviors, facilitating better flood resilience.
This project will transform flood management strategies by empowering urban planners, policymakers, and researchers to make data-driven decisions, leading to more accurate and efficient flood response.
The ultimate goal is to enhance disaster response mechanisms and strengthen urban resilience, contributing to global knowledge that can be applied by other cities facing climate-induced hydrological extremes.
The project focuses on using innovative tools to strengthen urban climate adaptation efforts. This technology allows cities to anticipate and manage the impacts of climate change more effectively.
ResilientHydroTwin is one of three projects awarded under the Water Disaster Management (WDM) program, a collaborative effort between India and the Netherlands facilitated by the NWO-DST Merian cooperation. These three projects convened for a joint kickoff ceremony at the NWO offices in Utrecht, Netherlands, from October 15th to 17th, 2024.
We are excited to announce the successful kick-off of our innovative project on June 18! This ambitious initiative aims to enhance urban resilience and transform disaster response strategies through cutting-edge digital twin technology.
