GIS-based research of extreme weather events in small water basins

Abstract

During a flood event, it is essential to know complete knowledge about the whole study area of protection for managing a flash flood. This may include areas that could be affected by the flood damage (e.g. water flows), but could also be far from main embankments. Furthermore, this phenomena could be of risk to supply routes or affect the population's well-being, which could distract the overall defence management. Thus, the present study will present, analyze, and quantify one of the flood events of October 2020 and understand its formation using ArcGIS 10.7.1. This methodology will be expanded during my doctoral research by applying terrain and environmental covariates to create a reliable flood management plan system to assist with climate change modelling.
