<p>Urban flooding is one of the major issues in many parts of the world and its management often challenging. Here we present Internet of Things (IoT) approach for monitoring urban flooding in the City of Colima, Mexico. A network of water level and weather sensors have been developed along with a web-based data platform integrated with IoT techniques to retrieve data using 3G/4G and Wi-Fi networks. The developed architecture uses the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport protocol to send real-time data packages from fixed nodes to a server that stores retrieved data in a non-relational database. Data can be accessed and displayed through different queries and graphical representations, allowing future use in flood analysis and prediction. Additionally, machine learning algorithms are integrated into the system for short-range water level predictions at different nodes of the network.</p>

Abstract. Qiqihar is a significant city on the Nen River in China, which is the main stream of the Songhua River basin. The length of the return period of Qiqihar's flood control design standard is fifty years. If a 100-year flood event happened, Qiqihar would face the risk of a burst levee. To quantitatively evaluate flood risk to the city from a burst levee or proactive flood diversion, a model for analysing flood submergence from a burst levee in the City of Qiqihar is established based on MIKE Flood. The model integrates one- and two-dimensional hydrodynamic models to implement coupled simulation. The terrain data are from city elevation data on a scale of 1:10 000. Following local modifications made based on survey data, such as on levees, roads, and buildings, a 20 m × 20 m grid of terrain data was formed as the terrain input of the model. The model simulates the water level of Nen River and the flood path, submerged time/depth/area, and duration in floodplain under three scenarios: baseline, proactive downstream flood diversion, and an upstream levee burst under a flood with a one hundred-year return period. Proactive downstream flood diversion can reduce the maximum water level by 0.068 m and correspondingly decrease peak flood flow by 1120 m3 s−1. These results provide basic information to support urban flood risk analysis and flood dispatching and management across the whole river basin.

Urban flood disasters occur often worldwide, and Japan is no exception, as indicated by the 1999 Fukuoka flood. Urban floods result from changes in the urban environment influenced by the specific features of the city involved. We review recent urban floods, their causes and characteristics, together with the results of recent studies. Focusing on two mathematical models -- the integrated urban flood model of urban river basins and the underground inundation model -- we discuss their simulation results. To demonstrate the dangers of underground inundations, we introduce evacuation experiments conducted using full-scale staircase and door models. Based on these studies, we propose comprehensive measures against urban floods, including underground inundations.

Urban flooding is a complex natural hazard, driven by the interaction between several parameters related to urban development in a context of climate change, which makes it highly variable in space and time and challenging to predict. In this study, we apply a multivariate analysis method (PCA) and four machine learning algorithms to investigate and map the variability and vulnerability of urban floods in the city of Tangier, northern Morocco. Thirteen parameters that could potentially affect urban flooding were selected and divided into two categories: geo-environmental parameters and socio-economic parameters. PCA processing allowed identifying and classifying six principal components (PCs), totaling 73% of the initial information. The scores of the parameters on the PCs and the spatial distribution of the PCs allow to highlight the interconnection between the topographic properties and urban characteristics (population density and building density) as the main source of variability of flooding, followed by the relationship between the drainage (drainage density and distance to channels) and urban properties. All four machine learning algorithms show excellent performance in predicting urban flood vulnerability (ROC curve > 0.9). The Classifications and Regression Tree and Support Vector Machine models show the best prediction performance (ACC = 91.6%). Urban flood vulnerability maps highlight, on the one hand, low lands with a high drainage density and recent buildings, and on the other, higher, steep-sloping areas with old buildings and a high population density, as areas of high to very-high vulnerability.


The main source of water in the Indian Subcontinent is Groundwater. It is also the most rapidly depleting resource due to various reasons such as rampant unchecked irrigation and exploitation of groundwater by industries and other organizations. The current system is limited by short communication range, high power consumption and the system monitors only the water level and the report is available only to the consumer i.e. it is a single-user system. Due to the unavailability of a centralized system to monitor and prevent overuse of water resources, sudden water crises have become a major issue in India. This project aims at implementing an IoT (Internet of things) based water monitoring system that monitors the water level and the quality of groundwater and updates real-time data to the database. This system is designed to monitor the groundwater level of an entire village or a town. It updates the people and the concerned government authorities in case of any decrease in water level and water quality below the threshold value, and also monitors the water consumption during a period and predicts exhaustion time. This system predicts the availability of water in the future based on current demand and usage and the recharge rate using machine learning algorithms. The data collected and the analysis of the data is made available in a Public Cloud. The modules are based on Raspberry Pi Zero, sensor nodes and LoRa (Long Range) Module or Wi-Fi module according to the network requirement for connectivity

Abstract South Oman has several pre-Cambrian reservoirs that are highly pressured (400-1000 bar), deep (3-5 km) and critically sour (H2S up to 10%). The combined STOIIP of these reservoirs makes it one of the largest gas EOR projects in the world. The objective here is to highlight the key performance indicators and digitalization techniques used for continuous and effective well, reservoir and facility management (WRFM) and production optimization, while honoring the facility constraints and gas export requirements. Real time pressure data such as tubing head pressures, injection/production rates along with other data including maps, static pressures and production logs are used to define an appropriate set of performance metric at various levels, e.g. reservoir, sector or well. Digitalization of surveillance data helps in real time production optimization such as offtake management based on creaming curves according to gas sink availability and facility constraints. Key business performance indicators include gas utilization efficiency; MGI performance indicators include incremental oil, throughput, instantaneous and cumulative voidage replacement ratios, gas breakthrough level and time, ratio of reservoir pressure to the target minimum miscibility pressure; and facility constraints are optimized through gas balance, along with tracking field performance against the initial FDP forecasts. Real time performance data is tracked using a commercial Real-Time Data Analysis tool (RTDA) and Database Analytics Visualization Tool (DAVT), with surveillance indicators targeted at well, reservoir and facility level. The above-defined Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are tracked against predictions from the field development plan in web-based portal developed at PDO (Nibras). Digitalization has enabled quick and effective monitoring of these KPI, short-term optimization of injection distribution and offtake rates to maximize oil production and overall value within facilities constraints and varying export gas commitments based on South Oman Gas Line (SOGL) network optimization. Using dimensionless plots and a standardized set of parameters help in developing a common understanding and benchmarking the MGI reservoir response with analogs and amongst different reservoirs. This work presents a set of performance KPIs and short-term optimization methodology using digitalization and LEAN framework that are tracked in a web-based portal, RTDA and DAVT. It provides means to facilitate offtake decisions to meet variable export requirements while honoring facilities constraints, assess reservoir performance, providing valuable insights that helps in speedy reservoir management decisions. This process has been replicated across PDO for all related MGI projects and can benefit other development types, e.g. chemical/steam injection.

Monitoring and assessing urban flood disasters is the key to reducing the damage of this hazard. The urban surveillance video, with the advantages of flexibility and low cost, has been used as an effective real-time data source to monitor urban flooding. The paper presents an inundated area extraction method based on raindrop photometric model. The proposed method operates on the video and divides the task into two steps: (1) extracting water surface, followed by (2) refining inundated areas. At the first step in the process, the water covered areas are extracted from the variation of video in time series. This procedure was an improved version of the raindrop photometric model. Constrained information, especially road ranges, was obtained from video background image which has eliminated interference factors. Then inundated areas can be refined with the constraint information. Experiments performed on different locations show that the proposed method can provide more reliable results than the traditional method based on spectral features.
