Flood management and a GIS modelling method to assess flood-hazard areas—a case study
TL;DR: Kourgialas et al. as discussed by the authors presented a viable approach for flood management strategy in a river basin based on the European Floods Directive, which can be applied to any river basin and here was applied to the Koiliaris River basin in Greece.

Abstract: This paper presents a viable approach for flood management strategy in a river basin based on the European Floods Directive. A reliable flood management plan has two components: (a) a proper flood management strategy, and (b) the determination of the flood-hazard areas. A method to evaluate the benefits of a flood warning system is presented herein, as well as a method to estimate the flood-hazard areas. Six factors were considered in order to estimate the spatial distribution of the hazardous areas: flow accumulation, slope, land use, rainfall intensity, geology and elevation. The study area was divided into five regions characterized by different degrees of flood hazard ranging from very low to very high. The produced map of flood-hazard areas identifies the areas and settlements at high risk of flooding. The proposed methodology can be applied to any river basin and here was applied to the Koiliaris River basin in Greece. Citation Kourgialas, N. N. & Karatzas, G. P. (2011) Flood management and...

Flood susceptibility mapping using GIS and multi-criteria decision analysis: A case of Dodoma region, central Tanzania
Michael Msabi,Michael Makonyo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an interactive decision-making approach under multi-criteria decision analysis for mapping the flood susceptible areas within the Dodoma region, i.e. elevation, slope, geology, drainage density, flow accumulation, land-use/cover, and soil.

Multivariate remotely sensed and in-situ data assimilation for enhancing community WRF-Hydro model forecasting
TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble based Data Assimilation (DA) approach was used to explore the benefit of independently and jointly assimilating remotely sensed SMAP (Soil Moisture Active Passive) soil moisture (at different spatial resolutions) and USGS streamflow observations to improve the accuracy and reliability of WRF-hydro model predictions while accounting for uncertainties.

Geostatistical approaches for incorporating elevation into the spatial interpolation of rainfall
TL;DR: In this article, three multivariate geostatistical interpolation algorithms for incorporating a digital elevation model into the spatial prediction of rainfall are presented, i.e., simple kriging with varying local means, krigging with an external drift, and colocated cokriging.
