On this page, you will find a description of the elements used to build a case study for the Flood Mitigation Module, which you may use as an example. Remember that a case study in this module begins with the definition of a watershed, on which the system will assess the effect of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in reducing flood damages. Below, we explain why:

WaterProof relies on the geographic delineation of a watershed to simulate rainfall effects and analyze how NbS can modify water dynamics on the terrain, reducing the depth, velocity, and extent of floods.
In this module, the avoided damages are considered across different land uses, such as residential, agricultural, industrial, or road infrastructure areas.
The analysis allows estimating the hydrological and economic benefits derived from the implementation of NbS, showing how these solutions contribute to mitigating risks and reducing losses caused by flood events.

Please follow the following steps:

Watershed

Case Studies

Explore the sections that make up the case study.

Example case

The example provided is based on the watershed of the Piraí River in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Approximately 1,610,982 people live there, with an economy based on agribusiness, manufacturing, construction, commerce, and the financial sector, making it a leader in food production and non-traditional agricultural exports.

Watershed

Indicate the location

The example is based on a watershed whose outlet point is located at latitude -17.5499 and longitude -63.2196. The figure shows the screen where the name and description were entered.

Note that the delineated watershed is displayed by analyzing the DEM of the area. WaterProof uses traditional spatial analysis algorithms to delineate watersheds from digital elevation models.

Select the resolution of the Digital Elevation Model

In this example, the user selected a DEM resolution of 150 meters to analyze how water flows, accumulates, and disperses during rainfall events.

A higher resolution provides a greater level of detail, allowing better capture of terrain variations, but it also implies larger file sizes and longer processing times.

Define the implementation area for NbS

The system displays the watershed area as the total implementation area for NbS. However, you can modify the area where you want to carry out the implementation by moving the vertices of the polygon or uploading a spatial SHP file.
