Learn practical skills to turn a hazard map in a flood impact map within the already known QGIS interface. Consolidate knowledge on the concept of hazard, exposure and vulnerability.
From flood hazard to flood impact Read More »
Learn hands-on how a digital terrain model and a vector dataset of main streams can be used to make flood zoning maps for these main streams, and what the practical use of such a map is.
Flood zone mapping Read More »
Understand the concepts of flood hazard mapping, flood exposure mapping, flood vulnerability mapping and flood impact. Furthermore, an overview of different approaches to flood hazard simulations will be presented, including static and hydrodynamic (2D and 1D-2D) flood simulation approaches. You will be able to understand the value and do’s and don’ts of the different approaches,
