WEB-BASED FLOOD INFORMATION SYSTEM: CASE STUDY OF SOMESUL MARE, ROMANIA Autori: Adrian Almoradie, Andreja Jonoski, Dimitri Solomatine, Florin Stoica, Ioana PopescuData aparitiei: May 2013 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 12 › Nr. 5 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 N.A.Abstract
This paper presents research into conceptualisation, design and implementation of an innovative web-based virtual environment for flood information sharing and dissemination. A system intended to be used by flood management authorities and potentiallyaffected citizens is demonstrated. Latest technological advances for collection, archiving and sharing of environmental data using web-based Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) are used for system implementation. Flood-related data and models are embedded in the system. The system was developed for the Somesul Mare catchment in Romania and it is aimed to serve as a portal for awareness rising through flood information sharing and dissemination that would increase local capacity of the communities for dealing with floods. This will enable the citizens and stakeholders to understand the areas exposed to flood risk and to equip them with the necessary knowledge on flood risk assessment and management. The platform is capable to assimilate instant feedback and relevant information from citizens and stakeholders. In future, the system is envisaged to include components for flood forecasting and warning. This system was developed within the enviroGRIDS EU FP7 research project. |
