Floodplain and Flood Probability Mapping Using Geodatabases
… research presents methods of creating digital maps for floodplain delineation and flood probability studies and storing them in a geodatabase. Methods for creating a geodatabase for water resources outside of a GIS are presented. The geodatabase follows the ArcHydro data model. Methods are also …

FLOOD PROJECTION AND ANALYSIS THROUGH STOCHASTIC DOWNSCALING
… (IDF) curves. The IDF curves were then used in flood simulations. Flood maps were generated and the vulnerability of some areas (flood extent and flood depths) were identified. The results are useful for policy makers to propose flood mitigation measures in context of the anticipated increasing …

Investing Hysteresis in Floodplain Dynamics of Lakes in the Middle St. Johns River Using Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery
<p>Floodplain dynamics are often complex, with hysteresis potentially affecting the temporal relationship between flood stage and flood extent during subsequent inundation phases. This study leverages Sentinel-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to map flood extent in the Middle St. Johns …

Big Remote Sensing Data and Machine Learning for Assessing 21st Century Flooding and Socioeconomic Exposures
… events and climate extremes such as flooding, rising sea levels due to climate change, solid earth changes, and other anthropogenic activities. With the increasing population in the era of changing climate, the number of people suffering from exposure to extreme events and sea level …

A Data Fusion Framework for Floodplain Analysis using GIS and Remotely Sensed Data
Throughout history floods have been part of the human experience. They are recurring phenomena that form a necessary and enduring feature of all river basin and lowland coastal systems. In an average year, they benefit millions of people who depend on them. In the more developed countries, major …

Development of a SWMM-GIS Flood Model for New Orleans Drainage Pumping Station No 4 Basin
An urban flood damage model for the drainage area serve by Pump Station No. 4 (Prentiss, New Orleans, Louisiana) has been completed. This study presents the research effort needed to develop a stormwater management model (SWMM) integrated with GIS that includes a Damage Model to estimate the losses …

Evaluation of Adaptation Options to Flood Risk in a Probabilistic Framework
… than simply relying on traditional deterministic flood analyses (e.g., a Probable Maximum Flood) and therefore supports good engineering design practice. Type and quantity of available data is often a key factor in PRA at an early stage for determining the best methodology. However, implementation …

Application of open-access and 3rd party geospatial technology for integrated flood risk management in data sparse regions of developing countries
Floods are one of the most devastating disasters known to man, caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors. The trend of flood events is continuously rising, increasing the exposure of the vulnerable populace in both developed and especially developing regions. Floods occur unexpectedly in …
