Carthago Consultancy is leading the Flood Risk Assessment and Mitigation Proposal for the Right Bank of the Indus River under the Sindh Flood Emergency Rehabilitation Project (SFERP), funded by the World Bank. This initiative responds to the devastating 2022 Pakistan floods, which caused massive displacement and infrastructure damage. The project addresses flood risks in Sindh by developing hydrological models, exploring nature-based solutions, and mitigating sediment buildup and drainage inefficiencies. Carthago plays a key role in scientific supervision, methodology development, data collection oversight, and modeling validation. Given data scarcity and infrastructure challenges, the project integrates satellite and ground-based datasets, stakeholder collaboration, and multigrid hydrodynamic modeling to create sustainable, adaptive flood mitigation strategies.

Carthago Consultancy is spearheading the development of the next-generation Pathways Generator in collaboration with Deltares, enhancing its functionality, accessibility, and scalability for complex decision-making systems. This project builds on previous versions developed by Carthago, introducing expanded simulation integration, automated pathway generation, and advanced visualization tools within a Python-based framework. A key focus is creating a user-friendly interface, enabling non-programmers to utilize the tool effectively, while maintaining a modular design for future scalability. Through knowledge transfer, training sessions, and iterative prototyping, the project ensures seamless adoption by Deltares, reinforcing Carthago’s expertise in strategic tool development and scientific supervision.

Carthago Consultancy has developed an Interactive Decision Support System (DSS) for Hydrological Management in the Manchar Lake Basin, addressing flood risks and water resource challenges in Sindh, Pakistan. The DSS integrates real-time rainfall forecasts, historical hydrological records, and nature-based solutions (NbS) to support data-driven decision-making. It enables users to simulate runoff conditions for 40 subcatchments, visualize flood risk scenarios, and evaluate the impact of NbS interventions such as reforestation and wetland restoration. The tool features dynamic mapping, customizable risk thresholds, and interactive scenario testing, making it accessible to decision-makers, planners, and local authorities. Designed for scalability and collaboration, this cloud-based system enhances flood preparedness, watershed restoration, and climate adaptation planning, ensuring sustainable and informed water management strategies.

The Adaptation Catalyst eTool is a digital platform developed in collaboration with Deltares to support climate adaptation planning by integrating scientific modeling, stakeholder engagement, and scenario-based decision-making. This project enhances existing methodologies by incorporating multi-criteria decision analysis, climate projections, and automated adaptation strategy generation. With an intuitive interface, users can explore trade-offs, visualize adaptation pathways, and simulate various climate scenarios in real time. Designed for scalability, the tool is modular, compatible with existing decision-support systems, and fosters participatory planning through interactive engagement. Carthago Consultancy leads the project’s strategic direction, overseeing its scientific rigor, architecture, and user experience while ensuring stakeholder engagement and knowledge transfer through workshops and training. This initiative empowers decision-makers with data-driven insights to navigate climate uncertainties and implement effective resilience strategies.
