RiverSpill : A National Application for Drinking Water Protection

A GIS-based generic real-time risk assessment framework and decision tools for chemical spills in the river basin

“…Several EWERSs has been reported so far: Danube accident early warning system (DAEWS) [11], RiverSpill [12], SMIS 10 [8] and SMIS 20 [1], Songhua river pollution EDSS [13] and McKenzie watershed emergency response system (MWERS) [14]. Existing spill EDSS commonly focus on modeling the transport of contaminant and data management and display with GIS.…”

Application of an enhanced spill management information system to inland waterways

“…Currently available models for spill response assistance include 1D and 2D modeling systems such as RiverSpill and ICWater [2], GNOME [3], and SMIS 1.0 [4]. While some of these models provide rough estimates of spill plume locations, often in a geographic information system (GIS) environment, the representation of plume location is presented as leading edge [2] or in bulk river segments [4]. Efforts to overcome these limitations led the authors to develop an enhanced version of the Spill Management Information System (SMIS 2.0).…”

Uso de traçadores fluorescentes para determinar características de transporte e dispersão no Rio Piabanha (RJ) para a modelagem quali-quantitativa pelo HEC-RAS

“…Como ferramenta para o gerenciamento de acidentes, aplicativos baseados em Sistemas de Informações Geográficas têm sido empregados para calcular a concentração e o tempo de trânsito de contaminantes (SAMUELS et al, 2006). Os resultados obtidos nos estudos com traçadores fluorescentes foram usados para avaliar e calibrar o aplicativo, usado para obter a resposta a acidentes ambientais e auxiliar o planejamento de ações para proteger locais específicos no corpo hídrico.…”
