CLIMATE CHANGE AND FLOODING
The ACADEMY by DHI provides training courses and
packages that enable you to develop flexible and robust
strategies for adaptation to climate change and for
handling various scenarios. Thus, we provide training
relating to, for example, urban climate change, flooding of
rivers, flood forecasting and early warning, coastal
flooding and safe drinking water and planning. We also
provide training in using our software tools to improve your
activities related to flooding, thereby enabling you to
choose optimal solutions to complex problems.
The climate is changing and becoming more uncertain.
Some areas are bound to get wetter with more flooding and
other places to become drier with a serious need of water.
Early warning and forecasting of floods is vital for future
generations and crucial for efficient emergency response
and contingency action planning. Water quality in general
and the supply of safe drinking water in particular is deeply
affected by climate change and flooding. Flexible
management, tools and strategies are vital.

This two-day, hands-on course aims to teach you river flood modelling by integrating the 1D river model (MIKE HYDRO River) and 2D overland flow model (MIKE 21). The emphasis is on establishing a 2D overland flow model followed by coupling the 1D and 2D model components to simulate the fully integrated flow dynamics between main rivers and surrounding flood plain areas.
River and coastal flooding often occurs as results of river overflow, high rainfall intensity in the catchment area, dam/dike breach, ocean storm surge or as a combination of these phenomena. The risks of flooding are amplified by the expected effects of climate change.
MIKE FLOOD is a comprehensive modelling package covering all the major aspects of flood modelling and a tool for understanding river and coastal flooding, analysing scenarios and testing mitigation measures. MIKE FLOOD integrates flood plains, streets, rivers, coastal areas and sewer/storm water systems into one package.

In this this one-day, thematic course we aim to provide you with an overview of integrated solutions available to allow you to address disaster risk management with respect to floods. How can you make a difference in preparing and subsequently manage floods.
Disasters are of concern for almost all countries and are growing in terms of people affected and economic losses. A majority of all disasters today are related to hydro-meteorological factors, with floods (inland and coastal) as the main factor causing disasters. A changing climate will increase the risks for many regions.
In recent years several floods have resulted in severe damage and health problems due to lack of timely and coordinated communication and lack of preparedness of local government and support services. The missing integration of knowledge and dissemination of information causes greater damage and hence costs.
COURSE TOPICS
What is disaster risk management
Prevention and mitigation of floods
Improving preparedness
Prediction and warning,
Response in form of flood maps and dissemination of information to the public
Presentation of integrated solutions for flood risk management
Examples of local/regional/international cases
Legislative framework (optional and depending on the office)
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Managers and professionals involved in flood management and flood risk
management. It is preferable but no condition that participants have previous

In this one-day course you will learn to apply a methodology (using MIKE 21 FST) by which only the surface runoff of the excess part of the rainfall volume is modelled. This enables you to map large geographic areas with limited time and effort. The course includes a step-by-step review of the modelling approach - from initial DEM processing to result presentation as well as hands-on exercises.
Mapping the effects of extreme rain events can be time consuming and thereby costly if models of storm water systems for entire cities are to be established. In many cases, necessary information on the geometry of pipes and gullies is also unavailable. During an extreme rain event, only a limited portion of the rain volume is gathered by the existing storm water system or has time to infiltrate.
Floods caused by extreme rain events are an increasing problem for cities of all sizes world-wide. Densifying of urban developments and climate change are stress factors which increase the pressure to deal with the problems. Pluvial flooding and climate change are new topics on most city planners agendas.
COURSE TOPICS
Introduction to pluvial flooding
Overview of pluvial flood modelling tools and techniques - advantages and
disadvantages
Data need and their use
Processing and preparation of digital elevation model (DEM)
Case studies
Result presentation
Mapping flood risks, values and economic costs related to flooding
Strategies to manage surface runoff within existing and planned developments
Hands-on exercises with MIKE 21 FST
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Professionals who work with city planning, climate change, risk assessment and
software tools for flood management in municipalities, regional organisations,
water supply and sewage companies. Priority is given to participants with
computer modelling experience. It is preferable but no condition that participants

This two-day course gives you an introduction to different approaches to the modelling of various types of green infrastructure in MIKE URBAN and their effect on different types of storm events. In addition, you are also introduced to storm water quality and modelling thereof as well as storm water quality treatment options. The course encompasses all types of the green infrastructure practices on the local level thus including bio-retention cells, rain gardens, green roofs, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, rain barrels and vegetative swales.
In recent years we have experienced increased focus on making cities water sustainable. Today many cities strive towards integrating the entire urban water cycle into the urban planning. In this way, environmental degradation is minimised and the aesthetic and recreational appeal of the cities improved. Concurrently, cities also need to adapt to a changing climate.
Cities and water utilities need to be able to quantify and document the effects of introducing green infrastructure, for instance in relation to climate change adaptation options, the improvement of water quality in recipients and rainwater harvesting in cities with water shortage.
COURSE TOPICS
Modelling of green solutions at screening level
Modelling the different elements of a green infrastructure at a detailed hydraulic
level
On-going developments in urban storm water modelling with MIKE URBAN
How to couple the green solutions with an existing drainage network
Storm water quality and the modelling thereof
Applying treatment water quality measures to various types of green
infrastructure

This one-day, hands-on course gives you a detailed insight into real time usage of rainfall information retrieved from LAWR (Local Area Weather Radar) radars. The aim is to enable you to understand the possibilities and limitations in using radar data to estimate rainfall intensities and to set up a data collection and transformation system for preparation of data for the modelling systems demonstrated using Excel.
Radar estimates of rainfall are based on an indirect measurement principle, where echoes of raindrop cross-sections in the sky are transformed to intensities at ground level. Since the echo of many small drops may correspond to the echo of fewer larger drops, the process includes adjusting the estimated rainfall intensities to intensities derived from rain-gauge measurements on ground the so-called Bias Adjustment.
COURSE TOPICS
Introduction to rainfall measurements
Introduction to the radar equation
The Marshall-Palmer equation
From dBZ to mm/h using Marshall-Palmer
Minimum detectability
Adjusting the radar constant using ground measurements
Compensating for rainfall types and local conditions using Bias Adjustment
Uncertainties in rainfall estimates
Hands-on exercises
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Professionals who wish to enhance their skills to include setting up a reliable
adaptation of radar rainfall for application in run-off models.

The purpose of this two-day, thematic course is to give you an understanding of urban drainage master planning (UDMP) and the procedures and tools available for its design, assessment, implementation and development.
In the past master plans of sewerage and water courses consisted of individual, isolated and fragmented plans for a city or urban area, which often turned out to become a costly and not sustainable approach for city managers and professionals involved in urban planning.
Urban Drainage Master Planning (UDMP) signifies an integrated approach to the drainage of urbanised areas as a whole. UDMP combines a number of interrelated activities and tasks focusing on urban catchment, collection system, waste water treatment plant and receiving waters.
COURSE TOPICS
Introduction to UDMP: concepts, principles and approaches
Current legislation
Climate change impacts
Overview of the techniques and tools available for UDMP
Input data processing

This two-day course focuses on climate change and flooding with an emphasis on tools for analysing impacts of climate changes in urban areas. Thus, you learn about the practical application of flood management tools and their constraints, as well as how to develop flood risk assessments and maps. The course includes presentations, discussions and hands-on exercises in using the different software tools to support risk assessment.
City water planners and decision makers have to adapt to a changing climate. Climate change is expected to change the distribution of precipitation in both time and space. This will change the flood risk profile of all cities. Accordingly, cities and water utilities need to decide which adaptation measures to prioritise and implement.
Climate change assessment often requires integrated modelling of flooding. This is a combined result of local heavy rainfall, overtopping river or coastal flooding. Flood modelling and risk assessment based on software tools ranging from simple GIS analysis to coupled 1D-2D hydrodynamic modelling are important for decision makers in order to minimise the costs related to extreme flooding.
COURSE TOPICS
Global and regional climate change models and predictions of climate changes
Combined flood risks from sewers, rivers, lakes and the sea
Overview of flood modelling techniques
FLOOD TOOL BOX: presentation and practical use of various methods and tools to
assess the current and future flood risk of urban areas
Different types of data and their use
Mapping flood risks, values and economic costs related to flooding
Methods to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed adaptation measures
Cases of tackling climate change challenges through active control rather than through
traditional methods of upgrading
Examples of international urban flooding and climate change adaptation
Hands-on exercises (related to FLOOD TOOL BOX, mapping flood risks, cost-benefit
analyses)
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Professionals who work with adaptation to climate change, risk assessment and software
tools for flood management in water supply and sewage companies, municipalities, regional
organisations, river basin organisations. Priority is given to participants with computer
modelling experience. It is preferable but no condition that participants have knowledge of
