Innovative Solutions for Flood, Drainage, and Water Management








From academic innovation to trusted flood risk advisors
Catchment Simulation Solutions (CSS) was founded in 2006 by Chris Ryan, whose PhD research led to the creation of CatchmentSIM, a groundbreaking software tool that set new standards for catchment modeling. What began as an academic pursuit quickly evolved as Chris recognised the real-world need for expert guidance in managing flood risks, transforming CSS from a software project into a dedicated consulting firm.
Today, we have built on those roots of innovation and technical excellence, growing into a small, agile team that partners closely with governments and developers. Our story reflects a blend of proven expertise and the latest technology, always focused on delivering quality, reliability, and care so our clients can make confident, informed decisions about flood and drainage challenges.
