The 2004 Peterborough flood was disastrous. AI aims to prevent a repeat

To strengthen Peterborough’s climate resilience, an integrated flood model (IFM) was created. The IFM depicts the entire storm sewer system and projects the potential surface flooding that could occur. Highly detailed data is needed to accurately model all the different types of built surfaces and vegetation, so the city enlisted the help of Ecopia AI, a Toronto-based tech company that uses geospatial data and artificial intelligence (AI) to create high-resolution images of landscapes.
