I am looking for software that will simulate a flood created from a heavy rainfall.
The software needs to 1) be open source, 2) have API capabilities, 3) the ability to tell us the depth of the water as if flows over land (this will probably require some kind of input of topography).
Preferably the source code should be in Fortran, C, or python.
We thought watershed software would be our best bet. We’ve been looking at that/trying some out and haven’t found anything (that’s open source) that matches our needs. Does anyone have any software they’ve used/know of that has these capabilities?
CADDIES model or CityCat could be used with the QSWAT and Storm water management model (SWMM). Please find the attached articles for further reading..
Another option could be TELEMAC-MASCARET. This open source and comprises is an integrated suite of solvers for use in the field of free-surface flow see http://www.opentelemac.org/ My understanding is that it has been used to model pluvial flooding in some parts of the world.
The TELEMAC system is written in Fortran (standard Fortran 2003). Although I think some of the later scripts may be in Python. It's probably best to investigate the website as there is lots of information there.
Professor Darren Lumbroso can it be combined with the geographic information system (GIS) ?
