The SATURNO project (Early warning against pluvial flooding in urban areas) is one of the most exciting projects that it is carrying out at GEAMA. A fundamental pillar of SATURNO is effective communication and dissemination of project outcomes. To this end, it has developed an augmented reality tool that executes physical and numerical hybrid flood models, projecting flood maps onto a 3D model of the municipality of Sada.
Our laboratories warmly welcome visitors who are interested in learning about this project and water engineering in general, however, within the framework of the SATURNO project, this video has been produced to present the project to secundary and professional schools and to motivate them to organise visits to our laboratory.
The SATURNO project recognizes the critical role that education plays in promoting community involvement and raising awareness of environmental issues. Educational institutions are therefore invited to visit the laboratory to learn about the project and the augmented reality tool. The aim is to inspire future leaders in the field of environmental science and engineering to combat climate change and natural disasters.
