DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR FLOOD CONTROL THAT CONSIDERS DAM EFFECT IN DOWNSTREAM AREA

Abstract

  In this research, we developed the simulation system for improvement of flood control and risk management in downstream areas of dam. This system calculates flood phenomena such as rising and overflow of the river in consideration of rainfall and flood control dam. In addition, this system simulates social action at the time of floods such as warning dissemination and evacuation behavior. And, the damage resulting from the flood can be evaluated on the basis of these results. Furthermore, because of its visual presentation, this system is used to educate the general public; in some sense, this system can be considered as a risk communication tool.
