Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET)

Calculates floodwater depths using a digital elevation model (DEM) and a flood extent polygon

screen capture

Updates:

2023-10-20

Implemented in QGIS as a processing script

2022-08-24

Implemented in: - >= ArcGis 10.5 - ArcGis Pro - Google Earth Engine

Description

Within this repository resides the three versions of FwDET. Version 1, featured in Estimating Floodwater Depths from Flood Inundation Maps and Topography [Cohen et al. 2018], best works in inland riverine regions and has been implemented using both Arcpy and QGIS. Version 2, features an improved algorithm which better solves coastal flooding as well as fluvial [Cohen et al. 2019]. Version 2 implements a much different approach that is considerably more computationally efficient, drastically reducing run time compared to version 1 of the tool. Version 2.1 introduces a boundary cell smoothing and filtering procedure which improves the tool's accuracy [Cohen et al. 2022].

Installation

ArcMap/Pro Toolbox

  1. Clone this repository or download the toolbox file.
  2. Open ArcMap/Pro and navigate using the catalog to the directory containing FwDET_ArcGISPro.tbx.
  3. Expand the toolbox and double click on the tool version you wish to use.

QGIS

see qgis/README.md
