UKCEH offers a range of environmental software, much of which is available free of charge. Our other resources include the JULES model (opens in new window).
Flood Estimation Handbook: FEH Web Service
Industry standard methods for assessing flood risk in the UK
RMAVIS
An R Shiny application for the assignment of vegetation sample plot data to British National Vegetation Classification communities, the successor to MAVIS.
Global Water Availability Assessment Model (GWAVA)
GWAVA combines locally sourced data with global databases to give projections of future changes to water availability
