An overview of visualization and visual analytics applications in water resources management

Vizplan: A Visual Analytics Platform for the Assessment of Multidimensional Indicators Over Time

“…In the context of urban data analysis, information visualization approaches have been employed to several applications, such as the assessment of mobility data (Feng et al, 2021), water source management (Xu et al, 2022), urban pollution (Bello et al, 2019), and land use evolution (Santos et al, 2021). In broader formulations, data integration infrastructures that include visualization components have been proposed (Psyllidis et al, 2015, Costa and Santos, 2017, Mehmood et al, 2019, Ferreira et al, 2015.…”

Hydroinformatic Tools and Spatial Analyses for Water Resources and Extreme Water Events

“…Hydroinformatics research, using different techniques for the selection, processing, and visualization of data, using modern analytical and modeling tools [2], is the solution for understanding the dynamics, trends, and uncertainties of different hydrological processes and parameters [3].The domain of hydroinformatics is relatively new, usually relying on visual computing techniques combined with advanced computational methods and human reasoning to determine solutions for engineering and socioeconomic problems, i.e., (1) supporting complex data-driven research problems and (2) supporting the communication as well as decision-making processes in the water resources management sector. Such advanced approaches are frequently integrated with geographic information systems (GISs) and novel cyberinfrastructures to provide new opportunities and methods for enhancing water resource management [4].Additionally, in the context of global climate change, atypical and dangerous weather episodes with high intensities have been recorded in various parts of the world [5]. The negative effects of dangerous hydrometeorological processes were amplified by massive deforestation, which resulted in quick accumulations of streamflow on slopes and lead to excessive soil erosion, landslides, and significant alluvial material transport in streams or arable land [1].…”
