Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for flood-risk analysis and mapping. One method includes operations for presenting, in a graphical user interface (GUI), options for calculating a flood risk map, and receiving, via the GUI, input identifying a geographical region and a weather scenario. Further, the method includes operations for dividing the geographical region into cells; calculating, utilizing a hydrological model, an inflow and an outflow of water between cells in the geographical region based on the weather scenario; and calculating, utilizing a hydraulic model, water depth in each cell based on the weather scenario and the inflow and outflow of water between cells. The flood risk map, generated based on the calculated water depth in each cell, shows the probability that each cell in the geographical region will be inundated with water under the weather scenario. The flood risk map is presented in the GUI.
