Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Flood Hub is an AI flood-forecasting tool from Google that combines a hydrology model, which estimates how much water is flowing through a river, with an inundation model that predicts which areas would flood and how deep the water would get. It is trained on global weather data, river gauge readings, and satellite imagery, which lets it produce multi-day flood forecasts even for rivers that lack local monitoring instruments.
