Multi-Scale Urban Flood Forecasting - From Local Tailored Systems to a Pan-European Service

MUFFIN is working to bridge the gap between the urban and large-scale hydrological modelling communities, providing mutual benefits and an arena for new thinking. The project will develop innovative systems and solutions that diminish the adverse effects of urban flooding. The basic approach is to analyze, develop, join, compare and evaluate observational and forecasting systems operating at different scales (local, regional/national, continental).
