Geomatics for Improved Flood Risk Management

| 2007:68 | Kjell Wester
High water levels and floods will always occur and cause damage to towns, infrastructure, environment, and loss of life. This report describes how geomatics can improve dam safety and flood risk management. Also, how high resolution satellite images and GIS can help to mitigate the effects of disasters on human life and property. Elforsk AB and the Swedish National Space Board have financed the project.

Many people are living in flood risk areas and the problems associated with the hazards as well as the solutions are essentially spatial in nature.
