Natural Hazards
Natural hazard mitigation constitutes one of the most challenging tasks of hydraulic engineering in the
XXIst century. Climate changes accerelate the appearance of more and more extreme events, such as flood
events, debris flows, landslides, avalanches, etc.
AquaVision Engineering actively works in this field by developing flood inundation and/or danger maps for
Swiss villages and cantons. The establishment of these maps is based on sound and detailed 2D numerical
modelling of the involved physical phenomena.
Second, sound hydrological modelling constitutes a basic premise for natural hazard estimates. We offer
specific services in the field of hydrology, ranging from straightforward statistical analysis and rainfall-
runoff relationships up to complex physically based modelling of large catchment areas.
Exciting projects actually being performed and managed by AquaVision Engineering are the debris flow
mitigation measures being developed along the Tinière River at Villeneuve, or also the flood danger maps
of the whole city of Geneva.
