Simulations covered return periods from 25 to 500 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 100-year scenario showed low flood and erosion risk across most of the site. One localised depression in the PV area reached a maximum water depth of 0.60 m, above the 0.50 m assessment threshold. Flow velocities remained low, at up to 0.40 m\/s, while the BESS area stayed below all thresholds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results informed clear design measures: avoid construction within the depression, raise ground levels locally where required, and locate inverters and transformer stations outside the affected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orbis Terrarum\u2019s Hydrology &amp; Hydraulics team turns modelling results into practical layout and mitigation criteria for renewable-energy projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">info@orbisterrarum.es | www.orbisterrarum.es<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the expansion of a PV and BESS project in Germany, OrbisTerrarum updated the hydrological and hydraulic assessment prepared for the original [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2939,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2938","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hydrology","category-noticias"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2938"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2940,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2938\/revisions\/2940"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orbisterrarum.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
