This submodule shows, demonstrates and engages you into flood zone mapping. The sub-module consists of lectures, introducing concepts of flood hazard mapping and flood zone mapping, and a lot of practical skills to turn terrain datasets into flood zone mapping with QGIS.
Learning objective
Students learn hands-on how a digital terrain model and a vector dataset of main streams can be used to make flood zoning maps for these main streams, and what the practical use of such a map is. You’ll be able to make a similar map project as shown in the screenshot above yourself!
