The Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET) is a solution for producing timely floodwater depth data during flood activations that require emergency response and post-flood assessment.FwDET is based solely on a flood extent layer and a digital elevation model (DEM). The DEM used here was the NASA SRTM data. The flood extent layer was derived from the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water eXtent (DSWx) from the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) product. The DEM used was the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. The computation involves identifying elevations at the boundaries of the flood extent layer and using those elevations to assign floodwater surface elevation to each cell within the flooded domain by identifying its nearest boundary cell. The modeled flood surface elevation is then subtracted from the original DEM to retrieve depth.The results posted here are preliminary and unvalidated results, primarily intended to aid the field response and people who wanted to have a rough first look at the flood inundation depth. The flood depth map may contain errors due to inaccurate elevations in the NASA SRTM DEM or the water surface estimation.Data Sources:OPERA Dynamic Surface Water eXtent from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (DSWx-HLS) - based flood inundation extent raster generated by the ARIA/OPERA group at NASA JPL.
