River Flood Forecasting System: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Abstract

The chapter presents a holistic system that implements an advanced river flood modeling and forecasting approach. This approach extends traditional methods based on separate satellite monitoring or river physical processes modeling, by integration of different technologies such as satellite and in situ data processing, input data clustering and filtering, digital mapping of river valleys relief, data crowdsourcing, hydrodynamic modeling, inundation visualization, and also duly warning of stakeholders.
