  • A Data-Driven Probabilistic Rainfall-Inundation Model for Flash-Flood Warnings
    water Article A Data-Driven Probabilistic Rainfall-Inundation Model for Flash-Flood Warnings Tsung-Yi Pan 1,*, Hsuan-Tien Lin 2 and Hao-Yu Liao 3 1 Center for Weather Climate and Disaster Research, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan 2 Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan; [email protected] 3 Research Center of Climate Change and Sustainable Development, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +886-2-33661710 Received: 20 October 2019; Accepted: 27 November 2019; Published: 30 November 2019 Abstract: Owing to their short duration and high intensity, flash floods are among the most devastating natural disasters in metropolises. The existing warning tools—flood potential maps and two-dimensional numerical models—are disadvantaged by time-consuming computation and complex model calibration. This study develops a data-driven, probabilistic rainfall-inundation model for flash-flood warnings. Applying a modified support vector machine (SVM) to limited flood information, the model provides probabilistic outputs, which are superior to the Boolean functions of the traditional rainfall-flood threshold method. The probabilistic SVM-based model is based on a data preprocessing framework that identifies the expected durations of hazardous rainfalls via rainfall pattern analysis, ensuring satisfactory training data, and optimal rainfall thresholds for validating the input/output data. The proposed model was implemented in 12 flash-flooded districts of the Xindian River. It was found that (1) hydrological rainfall pattern analysis improves the hazardous event identification (used for configuring the input layer of the SVM); (2) brief hazardous events are more critical than longer-lasting events; and (3) the SVM model exports the probability of flash flooding 1 to 3 h in advance.
