Martin Krupka is a dedicated river engineer at Povodí Ohře, s.p., where he plays a pivotal role in advancing flood protection strategies and enhancing river management practices within the River Ohře basin. With over four years of experience at the river basin authority in the Czech Republic and an additional two years of consulting experience in the UK, Martin has developed a robust expertise in environmental hydraulics and numerical modelling of river flows. His work primarily focuses on the intricate dynamics of flood risk management, employing both 1D and 2D modelling techniques to assess and mitigate potential flood hazards.
In his current role as a flood specialist, Martin is responsible for conducting comprehensive technical analyses that inform project contracts related to flood protection initiatives. His responsibilities include preparing detailed scope documentation, gathering critical data, and defining project parameters to ensure effective implementation of flood management solutions. Martin’s proficiency in scripting and numerical analysis, coupled with his adept use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), enables him to create sophisticated models that accurately simulate river flow dynamics and predict flood scenarios.
Key projects under Martin's stewardship include the development of catchment-wide flood protection strategies that integrate hydrological data and stakeholder input, ensuring that local communities are safeguarded against flooding events. His commitment to sustainable water resource management and his ability to translate complex hydrological concepts into actionable plans make him a valuable asset to Povodí Ohře and the broader field of river engineering. Through his innovative approach and technical acumen, Martin continues to contribute significantly to the resilience of river systems in the Czech Republic.
