About Lukas Godbout

Water Resources Engineer specializing in hydraulic and hydrologic modeling.Over the past 7+ years I\'ve worked on flood risk analysis and floodplain studies, applying tools like HEC-RAS to better understand watershed behavior and support planning decisions.I really enjoy developing H&H models to benefit the communities that we live in. I\'m interested in connecting with others who work in flood modeling or who focus on supporting our communities. I get a lot out of collaborating and I am passionate about using complex modeling to produce simple and practical solutions that make a real difference.
