The Resilience and Innovation Northants (RAIN) project, which was led by West Northamptonshire Council in partnership with North Northamptonshire Council, has won the prestigious Digital Excellence category at the Flood & Coast Excellence Awards.
This recognition celebrates two project innovations developed by AIRTO member HR Wallingford. The first is the development of cutting-edge computer models to help build better understanding of the risk of flooding from multiple sources. The second is the creation of an innovative web-based mapping tool that provides a comprehensive view of flood risks across Harpers Brook and Wootton Brook catchments, which is helping with the delivery of its resilience measures and community engagement.
