New Technologies for More Efficient Flood Management Systems

Abstract

Planning the emergency measures for flood management can often reduce disastrous consequences. In this paper, a new concept of coupled flood warning and modelling is presented. For data communication, Low Earth Orbit Satellite Systems will be included, as their infrastructure and services are not affected by local disasters as well as they provide data communication from any “dead spot” area. They also allow bidirectional communication, which is necessary for remote configuration of warning stations.
