The CAFlood system originated from a three-year EPSRC-funded research (EP/H015736/1) grant at the Centre for Water Systems and Computer Science at the University of Exeter.
Professor Dragan Savic FREng is Professor of Hydroinformatics at the University of Exeter and CEO of KWR Water in the Netherlands. Dragan has been leading research and innovating new solutions for the water sector for almost 30 years and was the principal investigator of the initial EPSRC grant that developed CAFlood.
