Model flood-prone areas for a location in Australia

Model flood-prone areas

This API returns a series of download links in relation to the modelling of flood-prone areas. A number of public elevation datasets (5m- and 30m-resolutions) from Geoscience Australia are analysed. More information can be found here. Sample reports for a few recent major events are available at https://www.propertylocation.com.au/. For the latest R&D on flood hazard and risk modelling, please check BigData Earth website.
