Tools and Technologies

This catalogue is a dataset of data models, AI technologies, simulation tools, intelligent systems, and digital twins for inland water management. The catalogue includes hydrological models for predicting flow and quality, social models for water usage, and hydraulic models for urban distribution. AI technologies, such as machine learning algorithms for processing hydrological data and analysing satellite images, are identified. Simulation tools are catalogued based on their ability to predict event outcomes. Intelligent systems integrating cyber-physical architectures, sensors, actuators, and software are analysed for their roles in monitoring, event detection, risk assessment, and decision support. Digital twins, which combine real data with models and simulations to create virtual system replicas, are also included.
