&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think some water&amp;rsquo;s coming down, eh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That is what I wrote on 29 April 2024, a year ago, in a WhatsApp group of professors and students from the Institute of Hydraulic Research (IPH). The group had been created in September 2023, in the context of the heavy floods that inundated cities in the Taquari River Valley.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This group became active again in November 2023, when other rains caused new floods, this time hitting Porto Alegre and the metropolitan region. On that occasion, I helped create material for the press, which was released to illustrate what &lt;em&gt;would happen&lt;/em&gt; if a flood like the one in 1941 &lt;em&gt;were to occur&lt;/em&gt; again, without the dyke protection system. It was featured in G1 and Correio do Povo.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>A great project</title><link>https://www.possantti.net/projects/rich-content4/</link><pubDate>Thu, 10 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.possantti.net/projects/rich-content4/</guid><description>&lt;header class="project-header"&gt;

A callout motivation!

&lt;p&gt;The project addressed hydrological behavior in a catchment with recurring flood issues and limited prior analysis.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
