An Application of Info Works in Flooding Simulation of Hauy Moog Basin

Abstract

An application of lnfoWorks software in flooding simulation of Hauy Moog basin is presented. Info Works consists of 2 parts, i.e. Info Works PDM for rainfall-runoff calculation and InfoWorks RS for flood routing. The InfoWorks PDM used the recorded daily rainfalL pan evaporation ·and runoff data for calibration of watershed's parameters, and calculated discharge hydrograph at various stations along the stream. The calculated discharge hydrographs were then input into the Info Works RS for flood routing. The required supplementary data for the Info Works RS were including stream cross-section. Manning's roughness coefficient of the stream and its flood plain, ground model which was created from GIS, and a stage hydrograph at the downstream station of the reach. The outputs from Info Works RS were a boundary of flooding area. stage and discharge hydrograph at various stations along the stream. Unfortunately. the result was not properly agreed with the inundated area obtained from the satellite image because the I :50.000 scale topographic maps used in the GIS were not accurate enough.
