Tutorial QGIS-Plugin "Floodplain Inundation Calculator"

Hello!
In this tutorial, I will show you how to use my "Floodplain Inundation Calculator".
The development was meant to provide a simple approximation of the average annual inundation duration in floodplains by using river water levels and floodplain topography.
Please be aware of the limitations of this approach and read the belonging report.
Update: I am happy to announce that the plugin version "[2600] Floodplain Inundation Calculator 0.1" is now officially approved.
You can access it via
plugins.qgis.org/plugins/inund... or
via the Plugin Store in QGIS, where plugins available for your QGIS are listed or
go directly to github.com/usk92/Floodplain-I..., where you will also find download links for the data used and the Report.pdf
Have fun trying it out!

Thanks Domme, without you I wouldn't have made it. Really looking forward to further development!

Thank you, your video is really cool. I will use it in my studies here in Brazil. Please publish more videos of this genre, as your teaching is very good.

[@chrystan5134]

Very impressive! Can't wait to see more 😊

Hi Ute, Thank you for the plugin and this nice tutorial!

INFORMATIVE...

👏👏👏👏

[@mopisboss1754]

thank you.

[@CarbonTaxLOL]

If you have daily precipitation, how can you calculate the WLD? Could you show us a video of your runoff modelling?

[@akramshah1858]

Amazing!!

[@ukkikaden]

Thank you 🙂

[@mingjianwu4277]

If there are multiple cross-sections with different water levels, how can they form a Inundation area?

[@Gyrolyn]

hello ty very much for this pluggin you mentioned this pluggin needs 64bit DEM tiff files to work. well my tiff file is 32bit and i can't find 64bit version of it can i convert it somehow or is there any other way ?

[@ukkikaden]

Hi, thanks for your comment. If your raster data is not in 64bit format please transform it with the help of QGIS Tool "Translate (Convert Format)". Please check the report.pdf in my github repository (link in video description) for any other instructions regarding preparation of input data. Hope it helps :-)

[@World_Geography_With_M_Adnan]

I see this tutorial in which one thing not clear is that the point shape file are use in it what it represented is it Precipitation. ..or any other water data is it

[@ukkikaden]

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. The point shapefile I used is my survey points (I took soil samples at these points) - but they are not relevant to the functioning of the plugin. For the estimation of the flooding duration we need at least the digital elevation model and water level data (both in the same unit).

[@World_Geography_With_M_Adnan]

@@ukkikaden yeah thanks For your explanation ..Now my concept is clear about it

[@franzpc]

Awesome, can I publish your example on my channel?

[@ukkikaden]

Thank you very much! Sure you can, thank you, an honor for me☺

[@user-np2hx9eu5z]

i want to know where i can get the data of csv in other places?

[@ukkikaden]

Many thanks for your interest 🙂 Please have a look at my Github account (github.com/usk92/Floodplain-Inundation-Calculator, see video description) - there you should find all input data I used as well as a report (pdf file) explaining more details and also links to databases. I hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact me again if you have any more questions.

[@mandata143]

Hello, would like to ask. Where can I find the floodplain for PH or Australia?

[@ukkikaden]

Hi, sorry, I don't know. You can check with the local authorities, they usually have some sort of flood zone available (e.g. HQ100 boundaries).

[@mandata143]

@@ukkikaden Thank you for your response. 🤗

[@mohamedabdalla605]

How can calculate WLD ?

[@mouradyousfi221]

On ne sait comment télécharger les données pour suivre le tutorial Merci de m'indiquer comment ?

[@rashedshourov3860]

appreciate ur effort...👍 Bt plugin is not a available online thats why i can not download and use this..😔

[@rashedshourov3860]

Hi dear, Finally, I can download this plug-in 🙂 and use this multi-time, its really handy and useful plug-in.

[@philipclarke535]

is the DEM still in the google drive?

[@ukkikaden]

You should found the DEM on my Github account which is also linked in the video description. Please contact me again if it doesn't work out, we'll find another way of sharing.

How can I access this plugin?

[@ukkikaden]

please find all files you need here: github.com/usk92/Floodplain-Inundation-Calculator does it work? I will try to upload it in the QGIS plugin official repository... if I ever find the time ;-)

[@prajwalparmar4486]

Thanks for the reply, it would be better if you uploaded it to the repository.

[@ukkikaden]

@@prajwalparmar4486 I will! And will also notify you when it's done. If anyone has experience, feel free to contact me :-)

Votre vidéo semble être très intéressante, toutefois vous ne dites pas comment vous avez élaborer les fichiers que vous utilisez comme base de données. Sinon on ne peut pas suivre votre tutorial. Your video seems to be very interesting, but you don't say how you came up with the files you're using as a database. Otherwise we can't follow your tutorial.

[@ukkikaden]

Thank you :-) Please have a look at the githubfolder (link in video description). There'll find a PDF document (Report) explaining everything in more detail, including links. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to contact me via email :-)
