Visualizing Flood Risk Model Results in QGIS

Abstract

Hydraulic engineers need an efficient and effective means to explore and understand results from their models. Traditionally, specialist post-processing software with limited GIS functionality would have been used. Fortunately, there is now a QGIS-based solution: The Crayfish plugin. It introduces a new kind of QGIS map layer where model results are overlayed on the main map display. With a wide range of display settings, a number of supported input formats and its ability to export high resolution animations, it\'s a great tool for supporting modellers to interrogate and communicate their model results. This presentation provides an overview of the plugin, its functionality and future outlook
