Urban Flood Prevention and Early Warning System in Jinan City

An Integrated Simulation and Distribution System for Early Flood Warning

This research presents an integrated system of computer software, networking and web-based display developed and deployed to allow drainage management authorities immediate access to results from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Hydrological Extension model, WRF-Hydro. Output data from the model are analyzed by a chain of GIS, database and web publishing tools to forge updated and rea...

Flood early warning system: design, implementation and computational modules

We present a prototype of the flood early warning system (EWS) developed within the UrbanFlood FP7 project. The system monitors sensor networks installed in flood defenses (dikes, dams, embankments, etc.), detects sensor signal abnormalities, calculates dike failure probability, and simulates possible scenarios of dike breaching and flood propagation. All the relevant information and simulation...

Evaluating the Application of a Financial Early Warning System in the Iranian Banking System

One of the significant problems of banks and investors in Iran is the lack of precise awareness about the financial performance of each bank and the roadmap for improving the conditions. Besides, the undesirable status of the financial performance of banks becomes evident only when the improvement of conditions is complicated. In this paper, a data mining-based early warning system (EWS) model ...

A Conceptual Flash Flood Early Warning System for Africa, Based on Terrestrial Microwave Links and Flash Flood Guidance

A conceptual flash flood early warning system for developing countries is described. The system uses rainfall intensity data from terrestrial microwave communication links and the geostationary Meteosat Second Generation satellite, i.e., two systems that are already in place and operational. Flash flood early warnings are based on a combination of the Flash Flood Guidance method and a hydrologi...
