A GIS GRASS-embedded decision support framework for flood forecasting
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study spatial analysis tools are presented which allow the simulation and prediction of flash floods in semiarid basins to be carried out. Different applications are analysed of the Shyska operational system in real basins, developed with functions embedded in a Geographical Information System (GIS), which combines information from latest generation data acquisition technologies in real time. By means of a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) the topographical parameterisation of integrated hydrological models is carried out. Shyska is a support tool for the taking of decisions in real time, based on spatial analysis, when faced with a flash flood event. The results of applying these methodologies to basins in the south east of Spain are presented.

GRASS GIS-embedded Decision Support Framework for Flood Simulation and Forecasting
This study presents a spatiotemporal analysis tool, called Shyska . This tool allows the simulation and prediction of flash floods in semiarid basins. Shyska has been developed by Geographical Information System (GIS)-embedded functions, allowing the integration of hydrometeorological information from modern technologies of data acquisition in real time. A Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is used ...

متن کاملThe Floodrelief Internet-based Flood Forecasting Decision Support System
For operational flood forecasting and operational decision-makers, ready access to current and forecasted meteorological conditions is essential for initiating flood response measures and issuing flood warnings. Effective flood forecasting systems must provide reliable, accurate and timely forecasts for a range of catchments; from small rapidly responding urban areas, to large, more slowly resp...
متن کاملA Gis to Reduce Flood Impact on Road Transportation Systems
Flooding is considered to be one of the most catastrophic forms of natural disaster. The adverse effect of flooding is recognised when it disrupts the road transportation system of a country since it is considered as a country’s socio-economic lifeline. The level of interactions between various measurable flood dimensions and transportation networks determines the potential impact of a flood. B...
