IFAS ver. 2.0

ICHARM has developed an IFAS-based flood forecasting/warning system.

The major features of IFAS ver. 2.0 are as follows:

IFAS ver. 2.0 is newly equipped with:

Improved operability

Operability of IFAS ver. 2.0 was largely improved. Shortening operation time is crucial for real-time flood forecasting systems since river management authorities use them as an assistance tool for decision-making in flood forecasting and warning. This time reduction became possible by rewriting of IFAS’s program source code in c#.

Additional Geospatial data import function

IFAS ver. 2.0 contains additional import function of Geospatial soil and geology data. Hydrological parameters for runoff analysis model can be set automatically according to imported Geospatial data.

Note : Although visual design of IFAS hasn’t changed very much from the previous version, simulation models created by the previous version cannot run on IFAS ver. 2.0.

IFAS ver. 2.0 is also capable of:

• Factoring in the effect of rainfall loss into the ground
• Saving the current state of each tank (when you run simulation continuously)
• Exporting rainfall distribution and river discharge for Google Earth-based presentation
