An Integrated Simulation and Distribution System for Early Flood Warning
نویسنده
چکیده
This research presents an integrated system of computer software, networking and web-based display developed and deployed to allow drainage management authorities immediate access to results from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Hydrological Extension model, WRF-Hydro. Output data from the model are analyzed by a chain of GIS, database and web publishing tools to forge updated and readily understandable flood warning information. The system design incorporates a flexible configuration such that it can be adopted for basin management anywhere. Keywords; hydrology, modeling, hydro-graph, WRF-Hydro, flooding, GRASS_GIS, web mapping

Design and Development of Early Warning System for Desertification and Land Degradation
Early warning systems are key components of strategies to reduce risk. This research, by adopting a systematic approach in the management of the risk of desertification and by including previously developed models and systems, offers an integrated efficient structure in terms of early warning for the risk of desertification as a pilot system for semi-arid areas of west Golestan Province in IRAN...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of Dry Valley Floods in Salah Al-Din Governorate and Ramadan Valley
Flash floods are considered to be one the worst kind of hazard. They are characterized by their suddenness, rarity, small scale, heavy rain and peak discharge, unpredictable, fast and violent movement. It has severe effects on human society in the form life losses, damages to property, roads, communication and on natural settings. Advances in hydrology, meteorology, engineering, using of GIS an...
متن کاملORDERED INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY SOFT MODEL OF FLOOD ALARM
A flood warning system is a non-structural measure for flood mitigation. Several parameters are responsible for flood related disasters. This work illustrates an ordered intuitionistic fuzzy analysis that has the capability to simulate the unknown relations between a set of meteorological and hydrological parameters. In this paper, we first define ordered intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets and est...
متن کاملVirtual Dike and Flood Simulator: Parallel distributed computing for flood early warning systems
The paper presents two simulation modules –Virtual Dike and Flood Simulator– developed for flood Early Warning Systems (EWS). The UrbanFlood EWS is a distributed system that (1) analyzes sensor data received in real-time from flood defenses (dikes, dams, etc.) and (2) simulates dike stability, breaching and flood propagation. Computational modules are invoked by workflow-based expert scenarios ...
متن کاملP1.47 Internet Technologies for Enabling Flood Emergency Early Warning Systems: the Arno River Basin Case
Flash flood early warning is a very complex activity, involving a decision-making process based on meteorological and hydrological situation description and forecasts. Anyway, the reliability of information resources is not sufficient to make a good early warning system since communication language and semantics problems arise. Indeed, the decision-makers are often not technical persons, althou...
