Flood Modeller is a computer program developed by Jacobs that assesses flood risk by simulating the flow of water through river channels, urban drainage networks and across floodplains using a range of one- and two-dimensional hydraulic solvers. The software incorporates a user interface for building, running and viewing the results of models, including a GIS map interface.

The software has been independently benchmarked[1] by the Environment Agency and is used extensively[2] to undertake modelling of flood risk,[3] develop flood risk management schemes and provide flood forecasting services.[4]
