Abstract
The article presents the results of the use of geoinformation modelling of the processes of urbanised territories’ flooding by river waters. Physical, geographical, and climatic parameters of the key river basin (Vezelka River within the boundaries of the city of Belgorod) have been determined. A list of input data and methods that were used to create geoinformation models is presented. The peculiarities of the technique of aerial photography and the creation of a digital terrain model on its basis are disclosed. The formulas for the calculation of the level of water rise and calculation of the flooding model corrected by the terrain are disclosed. The results of determining high levels of river water by calculated sites are shown, longitudinal and transverse profiles with estimated water levels during flooding with different levels of the expected probability of occurrence have been created. The final map of the boundaries of flood zones in the urban area, which are calculated using geoinformation modelling, is demonstrated. We propose that the results of geoinformation modelling of flooding scenarios for large rivers be included in the regional GIS portal.
