Flood Hazard Map by Siobhan Gleeson |
After the models were ran, complex flood risk maps were created on ARC GIS and analysed (as picured). This is a process that is a key component of the EU Flood Directive's recommendations, with all EU nations agreeing to have created extensive flood risk maps by September 2013. Accordingly, the work we are doing is extremely pertinent to the flooding sector upon our graduation and is likely to be relevenent to the working world upon our graduation.
As part of these models we were also able to plot the flood event in 3D through the streets of Dhaka. The below video displays the maximum water depth for the model with both buildings and on a bare-earth model. The building model is useful to demonstrate the height of water that will impact buildings, and the maximum wave heights can be seen by the blue 'splashes' on the sides of some buildings. The bare-earth model is of use to determine which buildings will be affected by the flood event, without the disruptances of flow that buildings provide - accordingly, this is the model that we use to create our flood risk maps.
Hope you enjoyed the video. And hope you equally enjoyed its Daft Punk soundtrack.

hello Richard, magnificent work, only one comment it is 2D not 3D flood mode. loved it,

Well,I think you really have done a great job through your project and analysis which is extremely necessary whenever it comes to tackling flood related problems.
