Flood Risk Mapping

GIS are a valuable tool for flood mapping and generally flood planning. The automation in data capture with GPS combined with a GIS can deliver accurate results in a non-time-consuming manner. The purpose of this project was to determine the possibility of a flood in the area of King George¿s field in Strathblane and specially to find out if the nearby houses are in danger. The culvert that is located in the area has caused a flood in the past and the present book aimed to depict where the water would go if its level rose above the elevation at the top of the bridge, right above the culvert.
