What Is Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modelling?

Hydrologic and hydraulic modelling is the process of predicting how water moves into, through, and across infrastructure systems. These models simulate rainfall, runoff, flow patterns, and system capacity to help engineers understand how water behaves during various climate conditions.

Hydrologic Modelling​

Hydrologic modelling solutions focus on how water enters a system—calculating rainfall, runoff, infiltration, and watershed response. It answers questions such as:

  • How much runoff will be generated during a storm?
  • How quickly will water reach streams, storm drains, or channels?

Hydraulic modelling examines how water moves within pipes, culverts, channels, and sewer networks. It helps determine:

  • How deep water will be during a storm event

  • Whether pipes, drains, or culverts have sufficient capacity

  • How fast water will flow and where bottlenecks may occur

Hydraulic Modelling

Why Both Matter

The combination of hydrologic and hydraulic modelling creates detailed simulations that help predict system behaviour under a wide range of scenarios, enabling proactive planning, safer design, and improved long-term system performance.
