This project aims to reduce urban flood risk through an innovative solution called CENTAUR that integrates local sensor networks with data-driven control and a bespoke flow control device. The project brings together universities, SMEs, and water companies to test CENTAUR through full-scale pilot studies in Coimbra, Portugal, accelerating its commercialization. Initial proof of concept testing found CENTAUR can address current local flooding and potentially future flood risk, capturing 100% of flood volumes in simulated events. The project aims to develop the necessary monitoring and control hardware in the first year, with demonstration and implementation in Coimbra in the second and third years.
