Integrated Flood Analysis System (IFAS)

Flood Forecasting System Using Global Satellite Rainfall

IFAS

ICHARM has developed a concise flood-runoff analysis system as a toolkit for more effective and efficient flood forecasting in developing countries. This system is called "Integrated Flood Analysis System (IFAS)". IFAS provides interfaces to input not only satellite-based but ground-based rainfall data, as well as GIS functions to create river channel network and to estimate parameters of a default runoff analysis engine and interfaces to display output results. ICHARM has been conducting training seminars for users to utilize IFAS and to do a co-operative study with local governments, organizations, etc. ICHARM hopes that IFAS will be widely used as a basic tool for preparing flood forecasting and warning systems in insufficiently gauged basins.

Main Structure of IFAS

IFAS ver. 1.2 Win 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 32bit

update:
13 December 2012
An addeitional file, setuppad.exe, has been uploaded to help install the IFAS software.
(This new file has been developed for users who are having difficulty installing IFAS into computers without the FM20 DLL file. Download the setuppad.exe file onto your computer and excute it in Windows XP compatible mode, and you should be able to install FM20.DLL, which will help you install IFAS itself.)
