How to know where flood waters will flow

Hurricane Harvey caused massive flooding in Texas, leading to numerous rescues and evacuations. Researchers at Texas A&M, funded by the NSF, developed an algorithm to predict floodwater flow in real-time. This model uses sensors in drainage channels to enhance traditional models, providing accurate flood predictions. The improved data helps first responders plan better evacuation and rescue operations.
