Abstract

Hydrological disaster in watershed is an important issue to governments and public agents. In populated regions, hydrological disasters usually cause social and economical losses. In this paper we describe the SPEHC, a computational solution for forecasting hydrological disasters in watersheds. The solution consists of an Application Programing Interface (API) and a Flood Alert System, in which it is implemented a phisically embased model, the PM Tank Model. The forecasts are made through simulation of hydrological conditions of a watershed in a real time perspective. The system allows the public agents detecting possible flood regions and antecipate the occurrence of flood events. The case study to assess the aplicability and performance of the SPEHC is the Itajaí’s watershed, Santa Catarina, where flood events are commonly observed.
