Floodplain management in Africa: Large scale analysis of flood data

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2011
To mitigate a continuously increasing flood risk in Africa, sustainable actions are urgently needed. In this context, we describe a comprehensive statistical analysis of flood data in the African continent. The study refers to quality-controlled, large and consistent databases of flood data, i.e.

Floodplain analysis with high spatial resolution remote sensing satellite data

IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002
High-resolution spatial data is being used to re-evaluate the hydrology and hydraulics of Jordan Creek in Springfield, Missouri. This analysis and evaluation was conducted to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of using digital satellite data for flood and floodplain evaluation.

REMOTE SENSING IN THE MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF CHANNELS AND FLOODPLAINS

Mapping Sciences and Remote Sensing, 1987
The first of two papers devoted to the analysis and mapping of river channels and floodplains describes Soviet work in the photogrammetric and cartometric analysis of floodplain morphology based on remote sensing imagery. The emphasis of the present paper is on the creation of digital terrain models for the automated measurement and mapping of ...

Water balance analysis for the Tonle Sap Lake–floodplain system

Hydrological Processes, 2013
AbstractThe Tonle Sap Lake of Cambodia is the largest freshwater body of Southeast Asia, forming an important part of the Mekong River system. The lake has an extremely productive ecosystem and operates as a natural floodwater reservoir for the lower Mekong Basin, offering flood protection and assuring the dry season flow to the Mekong Delta.

Floodplain Hazard Analysis Around the Rideau River

Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Research Conference Proceedings
Within the context of intensified natural hazard events due to climate change, the consideration of human lives and well-being is necessary. One such case of the effect nature has on humanity is through flooding events. For the Ottawa region, this has become an increasingly prominent issue. This study approaches the numbers behind flood risks in Ottawa,

Digital Terrain Model Processing for Integrated Hydraulic Analysis and Floodplain Mapping

Critical Transitions in Water and Environmental Resources Management, 2004
An important data requirement for a typical one -dimensional hydraulic flood model is accurate cross section data describing both channel bathymetry and the floodplain at multiple locations along a river reach. Sources of obtaining these data include traditional surveying, light detection and ranging (LIDAR) datasets, and digital elevation models (DEM)

Basin-scale spatiotemporal analysis of hydrologic floodplain connectivity

2015
Floodplain inundation often provides water quality benefits by trapping sediment and biogeochemically transforming other pollutants. Hydrologic floodplain connectivity is a measure of water exchanges and interactions between the main channel and the floodplain via surface (inundation) and subsurface (groundwater) connections.
