Tackling a Water Crisis: AEGEA's Emergency Response to Historic Flooding in Brazil
In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary response to one of Brazil’s most devastating natural disasters. Between April and May 2024, the state of Rio Grande do Sul was hit by catastrophic floods, displacing millions and crippling water infrastructure across 448 municipalities.
We speak with Giulio Capestrani and Márcio Almeida, who led the emergency response for Corsan/Aegea, the utility responsible for water services in 183 of the hardest-hit areas. They walk us through how hydraulic modeling—powered by OpenFlows Water—became a mission-critical tool in simulating, testing, and designing rapid reconstruction strategies.
From submerged treatment plants to broken pipelines, this episode unpacks how digital engineering enabled real-time decision-making and helped restore vital services during a public calamity.
