Upper Kedron Flood Model Data for Eight Storm Recurrence Intervals

27 sub-models cover the entire Brisbane City Council area for flood risk management. This Upper Kedron sub-model contains results data for flood height, depth, and hazard across eight storm events, from 2 to 2000-year Average Recurrence Intervals. The dataset includes reports, metadata, and technical data produced by Brisbane City Council.

Use Cases

• Model flood height and depth for the 100-year ARI storm event to assess property risk in the Upper Kedron catchment.
• Calculate flood hazard (depth x velocity) values across the eight ARI scenarios for emergency response planning.
• Analyze spatial patterns of flood results data from this sub-model against the other 26 sub-models for citywide comparative risk.
• Use the flood study metadata to understand the input assumptions and parameters for the council's flood modelling.

Strengths

• Provides results for eight distinct storm recurrence intervals (2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 2000-year ARI).
• Part of a systematic citywide study comprising 27 individual sub-models.
• Includes accompanying flood study report and metadata detailing methodology and coverage.

Limitations

• Data format is HTML, which is not ideal for direct programmatic analysis and may require extraction.
• Specific row counts, column structures, and file sizes for the tabular data are not provided.
• The dataset is a single sub-model; a complete citywide view requires accessing 26 other datasets.
