Digital twin of Barranco del Poyo river could have helped prevent 2024 DANA tragedy

A digital twin of the Spanish river was created to study its hydrology and mitigate flood risks

A digital twin of the Barranco del Poyo river in Spain was created to study its hydrology and mitigate flood risks. The twin was used to analyze water flow, sediment transport, and other factors that contribute to flooding. If the digital twin had been used in 2024, it could have potentially helped prevent the DANA tragedy, which caused widespread damage and loss of life.
