Coastal and Urban Water Management Services

In coastal areas, STREAM utilizes advanced tools such as bathymetric surveys, sediment analysis, and hydro-morphological modeling to address issues like coastal erosion, flood risk, and sediment transport. Through projects like the Vlora Port expansion and studies of coastal erosion under INTERREG III, STREAM has provided critical insights into shoreline dynamics, offering data-driven solutions to protect coastal infrastructure and ecosystems. The integration of numerical modeling and GIS technologies ensures precise mapping and long-term strategies for mitigating erosion and managing coastal hazards.

 

For urban water management, STREAM combines state-of-the-art hydraulic modeling tools, including SewerCad, WaterCad, and HEC-RAS, to design and optimize water supply, drainage, and sanitation systems. These solutions address the growing demands of urbanization while considering the impacts of climate change, such as increased flooding and water scarcity. STREAM’s expertise extends to the design of resilient urban water systems that balance cost-effectiveness with environmental sustainability.

 

STREAM also plays a pivotal role in flood risk management for urban and peri-urban areas, employing integrated solutions that blend traditional infrastructure with nature-based approaches. By designing early warning systems and flood protection infrastructure, STREAM helps safeguard urban communities from extreme weather events. Examples include the development of flood risk management plans for Albania’s key river basins, integrating hydrological data with urban planning to reduce vulnerability and enhance preparedness.

 

Combining cutting-edge technologies, extensive field experience, and a commitment to sustainability, STREAM delivers comprehensive solutions for coastal and urban water management. These approaches ensure the resilience of water systems, the protection of ecosystems, and the well-being of communities in rapidly changing environmental conditions.
