New: Recognize where (flash) floods can occur
HydroMaster provides actionable information for dealing with flash floods: You receive flash and flood warnings up to five days in advance, for any spot in the territory of your choice. Timely and reliable alerts for even the most sudden and local events – with 10-minute update and 1 km resolution.
HydroMaster’s Flash Flood Index is based on hydrodynamic simulation of high-quality weather data and comparison of the local hydrological conditions to 1, 2 and 5-year return periods events. This combination reliably recognizes and estimates the risks of future floods. Control the risks with HydroMaster!

Make yourself comfortable
HydroMaster offers you a series of interactive maps, charts and tables, radar maps, precipitation totals, alarm status and return periods. Add your favourite view to your own private dashboard with a single click. Build your personal view by repositioning and resizing the elements. With the HydroMaster Dashboard you have everything under your control.

Tailor forecasts and warnings to your area of interest
HydroMaster acts for your area of interest instead of giving you an arbitrary forecast. With a few clicks you can draw your area of interest or highlight your personal assets and hotspots. If you have your polygons (such as catchments) derived from a GIS system, you can upload them rather than creating them again. Once HydroMaster knows your objects it will automatically calculate precipitation totals and forecasts. Access your individual results from maps, charts and tables.

Set up your alarms and warnings
Save time while HydroMaster monitors the screens for you. Set up individual alarms and warnings for your objects and organise notifications via sms, e-mail or even twitter. You can choose your preferred media channel. All alarm and warning situations are recorded and displayed on screen. A rich set of statistics including storm analysis with return periods are presented during alarm conditions or for post event analysis.

Share HydroMaster with your team
HydroMaster’s access permission allows you to set up HydroMaster for your team. Spread all the great features across your team by adding more users from your organisation. As a local administrator it is you who decides their access level. This is ideal for setting up HydroMaster for 24/7 operation rooms, or sharing alerts and warnings with others.
