San Sebastian
Analyse coastal and pluvial flooding at
city-scale
Explore and explain causes for urban flooding with Scalgo Live, an interactive platform for terrain and surface water planning.
Urban flooding explained
All analyses in Scalgo Live are based on high-resolution elevation data provided by the Spanish National Geographic Institute (Instituto Geográfico Nacional, IGN). The analyses are ideal for planning flood mitigation and stormwater in cities, as well as designing natural landscapes in rural areas.
Analyse flooding in San Sebastian in three easy steps.
1. Figure out surface flow patterns
Map large flow patterns and detailed flow along streets and around buildings. Check out San Sebastian, situated at the mouth of Urumea River which has a catchment of 275 km².
2. Explore flooding from the sea
San Sebastian is exposed to rising sea levels. Scalgo Live shows that neighbourhoods behind the city's beaches are protected up to a 5-metre increase in water level.
3. Analysis based on detailed terrain
Topographic changes are key to understanding causes for flooding. Check out the details of Mount Urgull's terrain in Scalgo Live.
