Operational / Forecast Flood Mapping using a Database
- Flood mapping & hydraulics
This project developed methods to estimate bathymetry within river channels. It also enabled for improved accuracy and computational efficiency of simulating flood inundation maps. By using a database approach flood scenarios can be pre-run, allowing for flood maps to be generated 3 times faster than previous versions of AutoRoute. This savings in computation time is crucial to decision makers.

Why it matters: flood maps come out 3 times faster, and in an emergency, time is what decision makers need most.
