Water Resources Engineer
RTI International
Jonathan McIntosh, of the RTI Center for Water Resources, specializes in analysis, risk assessment, and modeling technologies that help clients manage water resources across the United States. He develops workflows to execute hydrologic, hydraulic, and reservoir models for flood risk and water supply applications. His primary focus is on probabilistic flood hazard analysis using both flow-based and precipitation frequency driven watershed modeling approaches.
Currently, Mr. McIntosh manages the Probabilistic Flood Hazard Analysis project for the Tennessee Valley Authority. This multiyear project involves developing and supporting a framework to produce hydrologic hazard curves for TVA’s reservoir system with advanced watershed modeling methodologies. He has also contributed to similar probabilistic flood hazards analysis work on other efforts that apply watershed models as well as studies that leverage flow data. He has applied similar modeling techniques in the context of probable maximum flood studies as well as water supply assessments. Mr. McIntosh uses Python to for data analysis, visualization, and workflow automation and has experience with several of the tools developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Risk Management Center.
