Floods are defined as hazards caused by water flow abnormal behavior. In the present work, we evaluated a platform to study hydrological disasters caused by water flood in urban regions. MOHID (Modelagem Hidrodinâmica -Hydrological Modelling) computational platform is presented as a system to simulation the models of water flow and runoff in mountainous urban watersheds, allowing simulation of different scenarios. The importance of computational modeling and simulation as auxiliary tools for disaster risk reduction is discussed, showing MOHID as a system to decision support. Simulations results are presented for a real case-study with data from the Bengalas River watershed, in Nova Friburgo region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
