| Abstract |
A simple GIS procedure was used for restoring narrow linear flood diverting landscape elements in rectangular grid digital elevation models. Subsequently, four different DEM’s (fine and coarse grid, with and without linear elements) were incorporated in 2D flood models. Finally, the various flood models were used to compute flood risk in the eastern part of the Belgian coastal plain. The results obtained with fine and coarse grids were quite different, but when linear elements were restored in both grids, they agreed remarkably well. The application of this GIS procedure allows model run times to be reduced by an order of magnitude, while still preserving flood risk accuracy. |
