Global Nominee
The Challenge | Water, Water, Everywhere!
Develop a tool that provides emergency management personnel with an up-to-date flood-risk map for an area of interest.
H2O-ROAD
H2O-ROAD is aimed to provide predictions of future flooding events to avoid affected roads.
Nowadays flooding events on the north Pampas (in central Argentina) are becoming more frequent. This is a populated area and the more important economic activity is agriculture. Flooding damage agricultural activities and generates road closure, rendering entire towns isolated. Remote sensing provides an interesting opportunity to mitigate the effects of flooding, redirecting resources to prevent hazards.
