TECHNICAL MODEL FOR STRATEGIC PLACEMENT OF FLOOD MONITORING STATIONS

Abstract

This paper presents a model for the rational placement of monitoring stations aimed at timely flood detection. The proposed approach optimizes the spatial distribution of sensors to ensure early warning, minimize response time, and enhance flood management strategies. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in detecting potential flood events, supporting decision-making, and reducing risks to human life and infrastructure. The study provides a technical framework for strategic deployment of monitoring systems in flood-prone areas.
