FLOOD MODELLING COMPONENTS AND PRODUCTS

Test how much you have learned after following the e-learning module.

1. Which flood maps are included in the ECFAS flood map catalogue and generated in the ECFAS Warning system?

1 point

a. The flood extent with the maximum water depth

b. The flood extent with the maximum water velocity

a and b
