Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool Model type Tool Model part of larger framework Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Reach-Scale, Watershed-Scale Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology, Coastal One-line model description Calculate floodwater depth based on an inundation polygon (e.g. from remote sensing) and a DEM Extended model description Allow for quick estimation of water depths within a flooded domain using only the flood extent layer (polygon) and a DEM of the area. Useful for near-real-time flood analysis, especially from remote sensing mapping. Version 2.0 offers improved capabilities in coastal areas.
