A Mathematical Model for Flood Protection
Many regions in the world are protected against flooding by a dike, which may be either natural or artificial. We deal with a model for finding the optimal heights of such a dike in the future. It minimizes the sum of the investments costs for upgrading the dike in the future and the expected costs due to flooding. The model is highly nonlinear, nonconvex, and infinite-dimensional. Despite this...
متن کاملFlood Citizen Observatory: a crowdsourcing-based approach for flood risk management in Brazil
The number and intensity of floods have increased worldwide due to climate change, causing more damage, deaths and economic impacts than any other natural disaster. Coping with this type of disaster requires up-to-date, complete and accurate information about the current state of environmental variables. To make a contribution in this context, this paper proposes a crowdsourcing-based approach ...
متن کاملDeveloping a GIS based integrated approach to flood management in Trinidad, West Indies.
Trinidad and Tobago is plagued with a perennial flooding problem. The higher levels of rainfall in the wet season often lead to extensive flooding in the low-lying areas of the country. This has lead to significant damage to livestock, agricultural produce, homes and businesses particularly in the Caparo River Basin. Clearly, there is a need for developing flood mitigation and management strate...
متن کاملIntegrated approach for scenario-based flood simulation
This paper present recent achievements obtained within the context of the ANFAS project (Data fusion for flood simulation and decision support). The overal objective of ANFAS was to set up an integrated system for flood prevention and protection. Data fusion and models fusion techniques constitute the core of the scientific research work of the project. Data fusion refers to the use of multi-so...
متن کاملA Conceptual Flash Flood Early Warning System for Africa, Based on Terrestrial Microwave Links and Flash Flood Guidance
A conceptual flash flood early warning system for developing countries is described. The system uses rainfall intensity data from terrestrial microwave communication links and the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation satellite, i.e., two systems that are already in place and operational. Flash flood early warnings are based on a combination of the Flash Flood Guidance method and a hydrologi...
