Waterworks Management
Currently: Flood Portal 2024
In September 2024, devastating floods hit Moravia. How effective were the flood protection measures? Were they sufficient? In some places, yes, but in others, their shortcomings were evident.
Accurate mathematical analysis of flood risks based on inaccurate data yields inaccurate results.
The day after the flood peak on September 18, 2024, MDP GEO used remote sensing to map the river corridors of the flooded areas in Northern Moravia. These include the Morava, Desná, Staříč, Bělá, Vidnávka, Opava, and Opavice rivers. We created a digital twin and an orthomosaic with an accuracy of 5 cm per pixel. The orthophotos of the flooded areas can be seen in the Flood Portal MORAVA 2024 in the GIS OCTOPUS system. Below, we offer an interactive preview - an example in the Opava area.

How does the mapping and digitalization of a watercourse work?
We offer professional services and comprehensive solutions for the management of blue infrastructure to regions, cities, municipalities and other. Digital mapping of a watercourse and waterworks includes:
- Documentation of the watercourse and waterworks
- Digital 3D model of the watercourse
- Recording of objects for the Digital Technical Map of the waterworks (reservoirs, surface water conduits, structures and devices for flood protection)
- Materials for preparing a flood risk management plan in areas with significant flood risk
Watercourse Management System
An advanced GIS system for watercourse management helps with the effective long-term management and maintenance of watercourses. It facilitates processes related to the management and maintenance of waterways, rivers, and streams. With the GIS OCTOPUS system for watercourse management, you will get:
-
- Mapping of watercourses using remote sensing. Detailed maps and a digital 3D model of watercourses and their surroundings always at hand.
- The ability to update flood zones, flood risks, and shoreline lines. A digital twin of the watercourse.
- Inventory of the watercourse, shoreline lines, and riverbed for use in a digital technical map.
- Records of technical infrastructure (bridges, weirs, reservoirs, sewer outlets, pumping stations).
- Support for planning inspections and maintenance of technical infrastructure around the watercourse.
- Support for planning the cleaning of sediments and obstacles.
- Integration and connection to the watercourse monitoring system, IoT sensor networks for flow measurement.
- Support for planning emergency situations and preventing ecological disasters.
