I studied Flood impact Modelling during the summer of 2015. I created an Agent Based Model for the Alewife area in Boston, using the program Netlogo. We hoped to use this program as a helpful decision making tool for flood managers.We wanted them to be able to model storm conditions and assess how the environment reacted to certain weather conditions. They could then use this information to assist in making decisions that could potentially alleviate problems associated with flooding in this area of the city.
