18.6 Method of Inundation Zone
Outline Calculation in Case
of River Flood Situation
Under the development of the integrated
approach for spring time river flood forecast, the
new geometric algorithm of inundation zone
outline calculation was proposed, which simulates the flood water spread from the river
directly over the terrain digital elevation model
(DEM) raster elements.
The proposed algorithm includes three phases:
(a) The river center line is projected over the
DEM;
(b) The water elevation in the river center line pixels
is calculated as a result of linear interpolation
between the water elevations registered by the
neighboring stream flow measuring stations;
