WORKSHOP I (03.11.2024 | 11:00 am – 01:00 pm)

Hall: Business center

Objective:

Learn how to monitor Wadi flash floods using the LSPIV technique for real-time, accurate flood data collection.

Key Benefits:

Camera-based, non-intrusive flood monitoring.

Low-cost system with real-time data transmission.

Suitable for areas with limited hydrological and meteorological data.

LSPIV Features:

Measures surface flow velocity and computes discharge.

Utilizes fixed cameras for safe, remote monitoring.

Can be used as an early warning system for flash floods.

System Components:

Camera, data logger, modem, battery with solar panel.

Application:

Ideal for flash flood risk management, water resource management, and flood control in arid regions.

Software:

FUDAA-LSPIV (open-source) for image processing and velocity field computation.

Target Audience and Requirements

The target audience for this course includes MOEI and DEWA hydraulics and hydrology personnel and other participants who are interested (upon available seats). Workshop participants should have knowledge of the fundamentals of hydrology and hydrologic analysis. Laptop is required.

 

 

WORKSHOP II (03.11.2024 | 02:00 pm – 05:00 pm)

Hall: geophysics lab E4

Outlines

1. PowerPoint presentation on the introduction of the hydraulic modelling and TUFLOW software.
2. Model build and model data preparation for TUFLOW using QGIS.
3. Output analysis within QGIS (using pre-calculated results).
4. Model sensitivity analysis to various parameters within QGIS
5. The model case study will be hydraulic modelling of a valley in the Gulf area

Target Audience and Requirements

The target audience for this course are hydrologic engineers with average experience on modeling. Workshop participants should have intermediate knowledge of the hydrology and hydrologic analysis, geospatial techniques and analysis, GIS (preferable QGIS) and well as hydrologic modeling. PC will be available; laptop can be also used.
