Flood Model Metadata For Brisbane Overland Flow Scenarios

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

Use Cases

• Cross-reference flood height and depth results from the 27 sub-models to assess regional flood risk variability
• Analyze flood hazard (depth x velocity) data across the 2 to 2000-year Average Recurrence Interval storm events
• Use the sub-model metadata to locate and integrate specific flood study data for a location of interest

Strengths

• Covers the entire Brisbane City Council area through 27 individual sub-models
• Provides results for eight distinct storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000-year ARI)
• Includes three key flood metrics: height, depth, and hazard (depth x velocity)

Limitations

• Core modeling data (e.g., spatial layers, raw results) appears to be in separate, linked datasets, requiring joins
• Primary data format is HTML, which is not ideal for direct programmatic analysis or machine learning
• Sample data and column structure are not provided, making initial assessment difficult
