| Abstract | Floods account for some of the worst natural disasters in Australia, costing millions of dollars in damage each year, and devastating communities. Research is testing a new approach to flood forecasting using satellite technology, which could help communities prepare for and deal with floods. Predicting water depth and its velocity is vital for timely and accurate flood forecasting. The Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC is undertaking research along the Clarence River in northern New South Wales using a hydrological survey to improve flood forecasting in the area. The research team has built a three-dimensional map of the river bed that can be maintained as conditions change. This has been done using a HydroSurveyor, including an echo sounder, Doppler velocity profiler and GPS antenna. - See more at: https://ajem.infoservices.com.au/items/AJEM-31-03-02#sthash.4T4rZLJQ.dpuf |
