Assessing the Extent of Flood-Prone Areas in a South-American Megacity Using Different High Resolution DTMs

Assessing the Extent of Flood-Prone Areas in a South-American Megacity Using Different High Resolution DTMs

Current forecasts estimate that almost 68% of the global population will be living in urban centers by 2050. As a result, the increase in impermeable surface area can result in severe hydrological impacts, such as the increase in surface runoff and the frequency of floods and their magnitude. Thus,...
