Brisbane Flood Study Overland Flow Blunder Sub-Model Metadata

27 individual sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area for flood risk analysis. The dataset contains reports, metadata, and results data for flood height, depth, and hazard across eight storm recurrence intervals. Brisbane City Council produced this data to inform flood management policy.

Use Cases

• Analyze flood height and depth results across the 2 to 2000-year Average Recurrence Interval storm events for specific sub-models.
• Cross-reference metadata from this blunder sub-model with the 27 sub-model map to identify data for a location of interest.
• Assess flood hazard (depth x velocity) scenarios to inform infrastructure planning within the Brisbane City Council area.

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through 27 individual sub-models.
• Provides results for eight specific storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000-year ARI).
• Includes complementary reference materials such as a detailed map and a flood study report.

Limitations

• The core data format is HTML, which is not structured for direct quantitative analysis without extraction.
• Specific row counts, column schemas, and sample data are unavailable, limiting assessment of data volume and structure.
