2 2 - The Phenomenon of Rain: Types of Rain Convective Precipitation great intensity short duration small areas Frontal Precipitation medium intensity long duration large areas Orographic Precipitation low intensity high duration small areas

3 3 - The Data Source: Satellite Images Water Level Meters Lightning Detectors Radar Images Rain Gauges Field Operators Teams

4 4 - City Topography and Hydrography:

5 5 - The Necessity of Mapping: Where to proceed dredging? For which place prepare a drainage project? To which place send the maintenance team?

6 6 - The Necessity of Mapping: Where to proceed dredging? Limitations due to Scarcity of Resources! For which place prepare a drainage project? What are the Criteria for Setting the Priorities of Action? To which place send the maintenance team?

7 7 - Involved Agencies and Data Collection Mode: Field Teams Operators Rain Gauges (Pluviographs) Flooding Data Rain Data

10 10 - Mapped Information: Rain Data I Intensity (mm/h) (mm/15min.) Alert when I>15mm/15min! Alert when Alert when D is short for high I! D Duration (min.) F Frequency (years) F rain > F conduit! Galleries for Rainwater (F conduit =10) Channels (F conduit =25)

11 11 - Mapped Information: Flooding Data (Sent by Field Operators Teams)

12 12 - Mapped Information: Rain Gauges Data

13 13 Rain Data X Flooding Data

14 14 - Obtained Information with Mapping: Pluviometric Indexes

15 15 - Obtained Information with Mapping:

16 16 - Obtained Information with Mapping: - Points of flooding in areas I<15mm /15min - Points with supposedly high rainfall intensity (by the alert criteria), but no floods - Floods in places attended by raiwater galleries with F rain <10 years and channels with F rain <25 years - Ocurrence of floods is associated with a distributed rainfall throughout the territory of the city, but with an average intensity lower than the warning index - Rain gauges whose area of influence had more points of flooding - Points of flooding that had never been indentified before, with frequency index for each point - Indication of rainfalls intensity associated with each of the points of flooding formed

17 17 - Future Implementations: - Inclusion of the digital elevation model processed by NISR and TOPODATA - Altimetry (three-dimensional mapping of terrain) and hydraulic data associated with rivers and channels - Flow direction of rivers and channels - Surface flow coefficients (runoff) from the land use map - Inclusion of the drainage network (as built) - Set rainfall indexes to rivers and channnels basins - Influence of the tides in the rivers and channnels outflows - Inclusion of the RioÁguas monitoring system (hydrometric network) - Extension of the regions affected by floods - Temperature, relative humidity and wind speed just before the rainy event - Hydrological Analysis with Spatial Analyst - Integration between different archiving systems: SISARQ, SigÁguas and Geovias - Drainage network extraction, algebra maps and watersheds delimitation - Indication of alternate routes of traffic considering the flood points

18 18 - Future Implementations: App that allows field operator teams to communicate with the RJ Operational Center and make real-time mapping of points of flooding (using Collector) App for smartphones in Ios / Android / Windows language for images and datalogging related to the points of flooding.
