THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS
Present
A ONE-DAY SEMINAR
On
Catchment Modelling for Flood Risk
Management
Friday 18th March 2005
at the
Scottish Engineering Centre
St Enoch Square
Glasgow
o-O–o
Recent high profile flooding events have highlighted the importance of flood risk management.
Changing weather patterns and changes in land use and development are having a major impact on flood
risk and underline the need for effective catchment modelling. Although the basic tools for hydrological
and hydraulic modelling are well established, models are becoming more powerful and sophisticated.
There is also now an increasing emphasis on modelling on a catchment scale. The new Water
Framework Directive, for example, uses the concept of River Basin Districts which generally include
several catchments
This seminar aims to bring together experts in flood risk management and modelling together with
practising engineers describing flood management projects which have been completed. The seminar
will be supported by a technical exhibition featuring some of the latest developments and products in this
area

The Scottish Hydraulics Study Group is an inter-disciplinary gathering of researchers and engineers in
the field of hydraulics in Scotland. It held its first meeting in 1988 and aims to promote discussion and
disseminate information on all aspects of hydraulics.
In addition to the annual one-day seminar, such as the one advertised in this leaflet, the group holds
several evening meetings each year and an annual prestige lecture named in honour of Peter McCrae, one
of the founder members. More information about the group can be found at http://www.shsg.org.uk.
The Scottish Hydraulics Study Group is affiliated to the Institution of Civil Engineers
