Plastic pollution in rivers is a growing global crisis, with rivers like the Ganges, Yangtze, and Buriganga transporting millions of tons of waste annually into oceans. Factors such as rapid urbanization, poor waste management, and single-use plastics drive this issue, endangering ecosystems and human health.

In our latest Performance Report, we assess the effectiveness of BWI’s discharge forecast model for the Gardon River, specifically at the Pont de Russan outlet. Covering an area of 1,533.7 km², this catchment, located northwest of Nîmes, in southern France, features 362 reaches and 4 dams. The region typically experiences dry conditions with low baseflow (2-5 m³/s) but is vulnerable to sudden heavy rainfall and flash flooding. The model demonstrates strong overall performance (NNSE 0.81), accurately simulating baseflow, flood detection, and flood recession. This performance is crucial for managing water resources, supporting early warning systems, and aiding the design of critical flood prevention infrastructure.
