Abstract
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) can be used to perform many geospatial and hydrological modelling including drainage and watershed delineation, flood prediction and physical development studies of urban and rural settlements. This paper explores the use of contour data and planimetric features extracted from topographic [...]

ABSTRACT:
A high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) (2m mesh grid) has been used to analyze a river flood using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In the past, the Onga River in Iizuka City on Kyushu Island in Japan has frequently overflowed its banks and the floodwaters [...]

ABSTRACT:
It is of great significance to dynamically simulate and forecast the development and evolutionary of soil erosion process. Traditionally, most of soil erosion models are essentially steady-state models. Thus, they have limitations at real-time simulation on the initiation and development of soil erosion process. Cellular Automata (CA), with a “from down to [...]
