Goals
- Goal 1: tool for quering historical flooding events;
- Goal 2: web-based application to add new flooding and precipitation data;
- Goal 3: estimate where and when the drainage network requires maintenance;
- Goal 4: estimate the amount of precipitation for the most commonly flooded areas.
Milestones
- Milestone 1: database of flood events and precipitation data. 85%;
- Milestone 2: generate statistics about the frequent flooded areas;
- Milestone 3: web-based application to add data to the database and perform queries. 30%;
- Milestone 4: web-based map to show the flooded areas and the forecasts;
- Milestone 5: regression method to perform flooding forecast;
- Milestone 6: add Digital Elevation Map to the database;
- Milestone 7: add drainage network map to the database;
- Milestone 8: get real time precipitation data from nearby weather stations.
- Milestone 9: integration with crowdsourcing GIS such as, for example, Nokia Here or TomTom.
