Autodesk water infrastructure

Predict and prevent flood risk

From early planning to real-time response, Autodesk’s integrated stormwater and flood solutions help you assess risk, monitor assets, and protect the communities you serve.

Turn your model and system data into a real-time digital twin

See how utilities and engineering firms are using digital twins to reduce modeling time, improve planning accuracy, and lower flood risk.

Our e-book, Digital Twins: Transforming stormwater and flood management, shares practical insights on applying digital twins to connect data across planning, design, operations, and maintenance.

Stormwater management frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Autodesk InfoDrainage® is a full design and analysis solution that designers, developers, landscape architects, engineers, consultants, and approval authorities rely on to design, audit, and building site-wide drainage networks.

Autodesk InfoWorks ICM is an advanced, integrated catchment modeling software with cloud capabilities that model complex hydraulic and hydrologic network elements quickly and accurately in a collaborative environment on a network or city scale.

Both InfoDrainage and InfoWorks ICM are useful for flood modeling respective to their relative scales. InfoDrainage’s Deluge tool, now enhanced with AI, can quickly generate flood maps for a given site, allowing users to make responsive design changes.

InfoWorks ICM can model overland flow and flooding events on a catchment scale, allowing users to gain a comprehensive understanding of stormwater and wastewater challenges and review multiple scenario results.

Utilities that undergo the flood mapping process will generally utilize an integrated catchment modeling software that easily allows for capital planning and improvement decisions, as well as the development of disaster plans. InfoWorks ICM is relied on by many of the world’s major water utilities just for this purpose.
