r a 200 .007 : +886 2 tu.edu.t Summary We investigated the effectiveness of combining gauge observations and satellite-derived precipitation on flood forecasting. Two data merging processes were proposed: the first one assumes that the individual precipitation measurement is non-bias, while the second process assumes that each precipitation source is biased and both weighting factor and bias pa...

Floods are the most common type of natural disaster, and causes thousands of casualties every year in the world. In particular, flash flood events are particularly deadly because of their short timescales. Classical sensing solutions such as fixed wireless sensor networks or satellite imagery are either too expensive or too inaccurate to detect them. In this article, we show that Unmanned Aeria...

Flash flooding affects a growing number of people and causes billions dollars in losses each year with the impact often falling disproportionally on underdeveloped regions. To inform post-flood mitigation efforts, it is crucial to determine flash extents, especially for extreme events. Unfortunately, flood hazard mapping has been limited by lack observations both high spatial temporal resolutio...

Abstract According to data from the Earth's Volcano and Geological Disaster Reduction Center, a country like Indonesia has experienced many natural disasters, one of which is flooding. Floods are an annual disaster, especially on mountain slopes. Mountainous areas experience more dangerous than floods urban because they can cause other such as landslides damage hiking trails. The steep winding ...

Flooding of rice fields is a serious problem in the river basins of South and South-East Asia where about 15 Mha of lowland rice cultivation is regularly affected. Flooding creates hypoxic conditions resulting in poor germination and seedling establishment. Flash flooding, where rice plants are completely submerged for 10-15 d during their vegetative stage, causes huge losses. Water stagnation ...
