Autodesk InfoDrainage Integrates Artificial Intelligence With Machine Learning Deluge Tool

Every built thing in the world has a drainage plan. From housing developments to commercial properties to roads and railways – each of these unique engineering projects requires resilient stormwater infrastructure and sustainable drainage design. For much of human history, engineers and builders took a more rudimentary path towards drainage: dig holes, oversize pipes and canals, and otherwise pour more concrete to get stormwater into sewers – and away from infrastructure as fast as possible.

These design decisions were the most efficient in the past, but how do they hold up to today’s challenges of climate change, population increases, and urban creep? Objectively, not well.
