Drain Mapping for Flood Modelling
Ramani Huria 2.0 is collecting drainage information in the most flood prone areas across Dar es salaam. This information is used to develop a flood model which requires accurately collected specifications of drains such as depth, width, blockage (by either vegetation or material), connectivity, and diameter (typically for culverts). To develop this model, Ramani Huria is working with a hydrologist in Deltares- Netherlands, Hessel Winsemius. Dr Hessel is an expert in the field of hydrology, with particular applications in global and regional flood risk modelling. This week he was in Dar es Salaam,…Read more
