With the increasing trend towards urbanization, collecting data from surface water runoff in urban areas is one of the most advanced methods to fastrack resiliency in the 21st century. At Urban Hydrologics we promote decentralized nature-based solutions to manage water quantity and quality issues in cities. Behind this effort, our underlying objective in the coming years will be to develop technological advances that allow us to measure parameters from stormwater in order to respond to evolving water quantity and quality issues with more precision. We are inspired by the technological revolution that BIM software presents to the field of design, engineering and construction, and we aspire to use BIM to create a software model of drainage networks in cities that picks up data in real time. This tech will revolutionize how nature based solutions are designed, planned, engineered, and maintained, and lead to more focused investments to address climate change impacts incrementally in stages.
