FloodRanger is a flood simulator that puts the player in control of a fictional area of the UK coast over a 100 year period.
The aim is to defend cities, towns and the countryside in a virtual terrain whilst maintaining levels of housing and jobs for an expanding population.
FloodRanger has been developed from the DTI’s Foresight project on flood and coastal defences. It will be a useful tool for organisations such as local authorities, the Environment Agency, other Government departments and universities to help educate and inform people involved with flood planning and management.
The initial software is generic but future versions can be tailored to particular environments with the developers.
