PHIL-LIDAR 1 Program – Flood Hazard Mapping of the Major Rivers Basins in Region 8
Visayas State University, Visca, Baybay City, Leyte
Software Used:
ArcGIS, QGIS, HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS
Tasks:
 Integrated processed LIDAR Digital Elevation Models and Flood Models to create high resolution flood
hazard maps
 Conducted bathymetric surveys in the river basins to integrate the actual topography of the river beds in the
LIDAR data
 Conducted validation surveys to calibrate the elevation of the LIDAR dataset
 Extracted features from the LIDAR data for GIS Analysis
 Conducted field attribution for the extracted features
 Gathered Hydrologic data such as rainfall and stream discharge during base flow and typhoon events to get
inputs for flood model calibration
 Applied hydrologic correction to the LIDAR Dataset
 Calibrated flood models using hydrologic data from different rain events
Accomplishments:
 Successfully completed this 3-year project which created and distributed flood hazard maps to the floodprone Municipalities in Region 8. The maps were essential inputs for Land Use Planning for the Local
Government Units
