Integrated Mobile App
iFEWS provides an integrated suite of software products for building a complete web based ood forecasting and early warning system. The easy to use interface allow non-GIS experts to be in a position to interactively view and explore, as well as query the data base, to select dierent data variables and to view maps at several levels of detail. Its framework enables you to deploy GIS functionality and business logic wherever it is needed - desktops, servers, custom applications, web services, or mobile devices.
In response to ood forecasting challenges, iFEWS provides a state of the art hydrological forecast as well as online operational & control, early warning dissemination and emergency management system using real-time eld data and forecasting models. The system is designed as a collection of modules to provide a comprehensive watershed forecast which helps in mitigating the eects of ooding.
ESSENTIAL FEATURES
Customizable Spatial Database
Management and sharing geographical information and the ability to geo-reference information it has functionality for GIS management, manipulation and analysis.
Layer Manager
Full editing capabilities for the complete range of geometry features; a wide range of spatial editing functions like attribute entry, draw, move, offset, delete, union/merge, vertex editing, coordinate / distance and angle entry.
Integration of Time Series Data from External Sources
A large number of datasets that are applicable and required for flood forecasting systems are time series information and therefore the time series module provides the functionality for time series management, manipulation and analysis.
Integrated Document Management System
Versioning based documents management is also the part of the system to keep the reports, pictures and spreadsheet within the system. This enables users to keep all the reference documents in spatial database.
Seamless Integration with HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS and Other Modelling Software
The forecasting models are fundamental components of the FFWSS and provide river stage/discharge predictions at sections of particular interest with forecast horizons appropriate to support the decision-makers activities, addressed to flood effect mitiga- tion.
Display Floodmaps & Inundation Maps
The flood inundation shapefiles overlaid on existing GIS data to create 2D and 3D maps that illustrate the impact of the flooding area. These maps can be to demonstrate the capability of displaying flood information via the Internet. System is capable of displaying location based inundation maps and can also export it to other formats.
Flood Hazard Animation
Analyze the impact of flood in 3D with the help of animation which helps the concerned authorities to understand the flood impact in details and take further actions.
3D Navigation & Stereoscopic Visualization
Interactive visualizations of 3D globe, map and geographical information.
GIS Web Services Protocols Support
Allows downloading mapping data from numerous built-in and user-supplied sources.
Integrated Mobile App
Android, iPhone based mobile app for flood alerts with push notifications. It provides 2-way communication between end users and concerned authorities. Decision makers can access the forecasting results anywhere anytime on their mobile phones and take necessary actions.
Cross Platform Support
Fully compatible on Windows, Web, OS X, Linux, Android devices. iFEWS can handle larger projects with powerful 64- bit, multi-core, parallel processing support.
