Modeling flood inundation has become increasingly significant, especially for urban setting. Information on flood characteristics and accurate flow paths is significant for storm water management, hydrological modeling, hydrological data analysis, and vulnerability assessment. This paper employed geographic information system (GIS) to process the input data, RIDF curve to generate different design storm scenarios and PCSWMM to simulate the urban flooding of the Luinab catchment in Iligan City, Philippines. The results demonstrate the methodology for integrating GIS and flood model for analyzing the hydrological behavior of the catchment. The calibrated model clearly identified the area prone to flooding and predicts the influence of imperviousness on the hydrological behavior of the catchment. Improvement of the drainage system could be achieved by a) increasing the capacity of main canal and/or b) providing an additional outlet from identified areas that are prone to flooding.
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.
