machine learning risk analysis quantitative analysis economics mitigation forecastingTo conduct a flood risk mapping and simulation project in one of Togo's five economic regions, leveraging geospatial data, quantitative analysis, and machine learning techniques.
To expand the project to other regions for agricultural monitoring and urban expansion analysis, showcasing the versatility of geospatial data in solving environmental and infrastructural challenges.
Sprint 1: Data Collection and Exploration
- Task 1: Collect relevant geospatial data (e.g., topography, precipitation, land use) and historical flood data for the selected region.
- Task 2: Explore and prepare the datasets, ensuring compatibility with flood simulation models.
- Deliverable: Clean, processed datasets ready for modeling flood risk and simulation.
Sprint 2: Flood Simulation Model Development
- Task 1: Build a flood simulation model using geospatial data and quantitative techniques to estimate flood-prone areas.
- Task 2: Validate the model by comparing predictions with historical flood data.
- Deliverable: A functional flood simulation model for the region.
Sprint 3: Risk Assessment
- Task 1: Use the simulation model to assess flood risks within the selected region, focusing on high-risk areas.
- Task 2: Provide recommendations for flood mitigation based on the model’s results.
- Deliverable: A risk assessment report with mitigation strategies for the region.
Final Report and Presentation
- Deliverable: A final report and presentation showcasing the flood simulation model, the risk assessment, and recommendations for regional authorities or organizations.
