When
we talk about computer modeling, the language used is so tough to understand
and full of jargons. If you are beginner, it’s almost impossible to get through
it. This is what I felt when I tried to understand about hydrological modeling,
in particular, flood modeling. The flooding events around the globe often come
with message that the related information are not efficiently communicated during and after the event.
While
discussing these issues I found one interesting paper about agent-based flood modeling
by Dawson et. al. 2011 entitled “An agent based model for risk-based flood
incident management” published in Natural Hazards. The more interesting
stuff is this 4:19 minute long YouTube video which explains how this model works.
To my knowledge this kind of video is not common explaining about how it works.
If you are interested about the model itself, you can follow this link to Newcastle University page.

The methodology used in this paper was taken directly from two papers authored by Assaf and Hartford in 2002 and 2001. The authors failed to cite those papers although an online system shows that they had access to these papers.
