The catastrophic floods that hit the Texas Hill Country in July left residents and officials scrambling for answers. In response, the Hydrology & Hydroinformatics Innovation (H2I) Lab at The University of Texas at Arlington, led by civil engineering assistant professor Adnan Rajib, developed real-time, time-stamped flood maps showing how quickly the Guadalupe River rose. The visual data, later featured by CBS News Texas, helped residents and local and state officials better understand how the disaster unfolded.
