GEOSPATIAL MODELING OF THE FLOOD RISK OF THE PRIPYAT RIVER WITHIN THE LYUBYAZ

Abstract

Geospatial modeling of the flood risk of the Pripyat river within the Lyubyaz water meter post is analyzed. An ensemble method was used, which demonstrated the effectiveness of flood modeling based on geographic information systems (GIS). The main examples of using flood modeling methods are presented. The world experience of flood modeling methods and their application for restoration of spaces in the structure of the settlement is analyzed. Their system-forming features and typological features have been determined within the Lyubyaz water meter post. The traditional system of flood modeling methods in the structure of the settlement consists of two main elements, they are forecasting and modeling and creation of forecast maps of flood probability. The flood hazard map was created by combining the flood probability map with the flood-causing factors. Flood probability maps have been constructed using the GIS-based ensemble method within the Lyubyaz water meter post.
