Hi Stephen,<br><br>I don't think you've had a reply from elsewhere yet... QGIS isn't really the right software to do all of what you're after. It can certainly help you prepare data to build a hydraulic model and then map the outputs. But it can't convert flow into a level, you need hydraulic modelling software for this (unless you're very brave and fancy writing a plugin to estimate level from Manning's equation along a reach, but this would be quite approximate).<br><br>Depending on what you want to model there are a number of free tools out there:<br><br>ANUGA, 2D model which is FOSS<br>HEC RAS/HMS 1D model/hydrological model, free but not FOSS<br>and others<br><br>Hope this starts you on the path.<br>Michael<br><br>> Date: Tue, 31 May 2011 11:37:30 +1000<br>> From: steve sgalowski <steve.sgalowski@gmail.com><br>> Subject: [Qgis-user] setup qgis for flood modeling<br>> <br>> how do i go about setting up qgis 1.6 for flood modeling<br>> with wind horizontal , wind shear , rain , and river data , barometer .<br>> with time and dates .<br>> <br>> stephen galowski<br> </body>
