Ever wondered how we predict floods in ungauged areas? My journey into the world of hydrology was sparked by a deep curiosity about the natural forces shaping our landscapes and lives. Understanding river flows is not just about scientific inquiry; it’s about protecting communities, preserving our environment, and planning our future with greater certainty.
In my latest study, we delved into the Muskingum-based methods for predicting river flows in South Africa’s Thukela catchment—an area with no prior flow data but significant flood risk. This research is not just about numbers and models; it’s about developing tools that can save lives and landscapes by predicting how floodwaters behave.
Every river tells a story, and by listening closely, we can help write safer, more resilient futures. Stay tuned as we explore these methods further and uncover the stories told by ungauged rivers.”
