Hydraulic Flume
Sectional hydraulic flume
This interactive visualisation tool shows how topography affects ‘virtual’ water moving through a catchment. Participants can shape real sand to create their own catchments which are then augmented in real time by a projector to show a coloured elevation map, contour lines and water flow to explore how changes in land use affect flooding.
