Integrated system for hazardous flood modelling and risks reduction: case study for Tisza (Ukraine), Riony (Georgia) rivers

Teams from the Institute of Cybernetics, Institute of Mathematical Machine andSystem Problems in Kyiv as well as Tbilisi State University in Georgia are jointly developed a prototype computer system for flood risk reduction. This system is to optimize the allocation of investments and insurance coverage in the areas,exposed to the risk of hazardous flooding.The most widely accepted approach for mitigating floods is the use of reliableflood forecasting systems. In the developed countries, the legislative and economic tools - zoning of economic activities in the flood impacted areas, different rates of insurance in dependence from flood risks - are of great importance.
