Using digital city model integrating a terrain model (DGM) as well as data concerning the drainage network, it may be virtually tested in the case of heavy rain or a significant flood.
These dynamic simulations allow to predict the damage caused by floods, test preventive measures, optimize the features of drainage (dikes, dams, Pumphouse etc.) and organize relief and evacuation of the premises as appropriate.
Prerequisites: Model town 3D (at least LoD1) including a terrain model of high resolution as well as data on the drainage system of the waters and the histories of heavy rain and flooding of the centuries.
