Abstract:
The scope of this work is to present the design and the developmental stages of a web–based GIS (Geographic Information System) for flood monitoring at Arachthos river at Region of Epirus. The system is designing to cover the specific river characteristics as well as the potential flood affection in the greater area along the riversides. The development of the WebGIS is based on the client–server model and uses Google Map API services for data plotting. Specific scientific instrumentation for monitoring the height of the river water and the current meteorological conditions, is connected automatically to the system, providing relative measurements in real-time basis. Modern methodologies are used so that to provide valuable information and to create a trustful and accurate system for real-time monitoring of river flow and the early warning of possible floods.
