Author: Markus Metz

r.hazard.flood

r.hazard.flood (src) is an implementation of a fast procedure to detect flood prone areas. The exposure to flooding may be delineated by adopting a topographic index (TIm) computed from a DEM. The portion of a basin exposed to flood inundation is generally characterized by a TIm higher than a given threshold, tau. The threshold is automatically determinated from the cellsize. The proposed procedure may help in the delineation of flood prone areas especially in basins with marked topography. The use of the modified topographic index should not be considered as an alternative to standard hydrological-hydraulic simulations for flood mapping, but it may represent a useful and rapid tool for a preliminary delineation of flooding areas in ungauged basins and in areas where expensive and time consuming hydrological-hydraulic simulations are not affordable or economically convenient.

r.houghtransform

....

r.hydrodem

r.hydrodem (src) applies hydrological conditioning (sink removal) to a required input elevation map. If the conditioned elevation map is going to be used as input elevation for r.watershed, only small sinks should be removed and the amount of modifications restricted with the mod option. For other modules such as r.terraflow or third-party software, full sink removal is recommended.

Author: Markus Metz

r.in.srtm.region

r.lfp

r.lfp (src) creates a longest flow path raster map using a drainage direction raster map and the coordinates of an outlet point. The module internally runs r.stream.distance twice to calculate flow length downstream and upstream raster maps, and combines them to get the longest flow path. An input drainage map can be created using r.watershed or r.stream.extract.

Other examples of use of the module can be found here (Web page) and here (Presentation @ FOSS4G 2009 - pdf).
For details on the numerical implementation see here (PhD thesis - pdf).

In GRASS 6 the module was named "r.seg".
