Over 30 settlements located on the Ob River within the Tomsk Region are subject to flooding during the spring flood season due to snowmelt. Thousands of people are within the risk zone. The increased water level enhances the erosion-accumulative activity of rivers, provoking landslides. The situation is complicated by the lack of necessary information about water levels - there are only six gauging stations here. There is a need to predict the flooded zones of populated areas at risk. This problem can be solved using high-precision digital elevation models (DEM) and hydrological data. The goal of our work is the creation of flood monitoring system based on data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), hydrological calculations and GIS-modeling.
