Tools for accurately predicting environmental risks, such as the location and spatial extent of potential inundation, are not widely available. A dependence on calibration and a lack of available flood data have prevented the widespread application of existing hydrodynamic methods for predicting the extent of inundation. We use the height above the nearest drainage (HAND) terrain model to develop...
This work aims to develop an Expert system (ES), which assists the user to have a control against floods and landslides in the watershed of the Itajaí-Açu River region. In Blumenau, mainly, the occurrence of this kind of disaster is common and the people need to have means to always be informed and to know how to act in this kind of situation. The Operation Center of Alert System Itajaí Basin (CEOPS)...
The population growth has led to increasing occupation of areas susceptible to flooding. This is compounded by environmental stresses such as deforestation, the growing process of erosion and consequent siltation of rivers and rails, above all, the disorderly occupation of the coastal areas, causing floods occur with greater frequency and magnitude. If we consider the uncertainties related to climate...
The environmental disaster warning system for the Itajaí Valley consists of a telemetric network with rain gauges measure and level. In addition, a smaller network of instruments in the urban area of the city of Blumenau ensures the monitoring of risk areas for landslides. The importance of the existence of this system based on the Regional University of Blumenau (FURB) lies in the fact that the population...
In the region of the Vale because of its natural relief, flood is recorded along the basin of the Itajai River since 1850. Floods are natural phenomena that are often devastating bringing great damage to man and nature. Flee the human capacity, to prevent such phenomena occur. However, it is possible to develop preventive measures to minimize these impacts. Basically there are two types of preventive...
Flood events are registered worldwide, bringing great human and material losses. Warning systems play a key role in minimizing these impacts. The CEOPS/FURB is responsible for warning system of Itajaí's Valley. This system demand services in real time of hydrologic forecasting and simulation researches. The goal of this work is to propose a model based on Cloud Computing to meet the requirements of...
This article presents examples of computer architecture based on Grid services with the possibility of application to systems of hydro meteorological monitoring and alerting, as well as a support for civil defense. The proposed architecture benefit applications based on rainfall and hydrological simulation forecast. Computer architecture described here integrates tools for ad-hoc system of monitoring...
