Drin-Buna Basin Flood Modelling (2020–2021)
Location: Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro
Role: Hydrological Expert
Description: STREAM developed advanced hydrological models using HEC-RAS 2D to assess flood risks in the Drin-Buna river basin. By analyzing different management regimes of hydropower plants, the team: Demonstrated how optimized reservoir operations could mitigate downstream flood impacts. Evaluated climate change scenarios to propose new operational rules for hydropower plants during floods.
This project highlighted STREAM’s ability to balance energy production with flood risk management.
