# Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool | ||
The Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET) calculates floodwater | ||
depths using a digital elevation model (DEM) and a flood extent | ||
polygon shapefile. Within this repository resides the two versions of | ||
polygon shapefile. Within this repository resides the three versions of | ||
FwDET. Version 1, featured in Estimating Floodwater Depths from Flood | ||
Inundation Maps and Topography [Cohen et al. 2018], best works in | ||
inland riverine regions and has been implemented using both Arcpy and | ||
QGIS. Version 2, features an improved algorithm which better solves | ||
coastal flooding as well as fluvial. Version 2 implements a much | ||
coastal flooding as well as fluvial [Cohen et al. 2019]. Version 2 implements a much | ||
different approach that is considerably more computationally | ||
efficient, drastically reducing run time compared to version 1 of the | ||
tool. | ||
tool. Version 2.1 introduces a boundary cell smoothing and filtering procedure whicn | ||
improves the tool's accuracy. | ||
|
||
FwDET can be executed either as a standalone Python script or via a toolbox in | ||
ArcMap (v1 & v2) or QGIS (v1). Version 1 and 2 have been implemented via Arcpy | ||
scripts and Arc Toolboxs with version support for >= ArcGis 10.5 and ArcGis Pro. | ||
Version 1 also has both a standalone and plugin open-source QGIS version, that | ||
out preforms the ArcMap computationally. The plugin/toolbox versions can be | ||
found inside the [fwdet](fwdet) directory. The standalone versions of the | ||
scripts are located under [fwdet/source](fwdet/source). | ||
|
||
## How to use FwDET ArcMap/Pro Toolbox | ||
1. Clone this repository or download the | ||
[toolbox file](fwdet/FwDET.tbx). | ||
2. Open ArcMap/Pro and navigate using the catalog to the directory | ||
containing `FwDET.tbx` or `FwDET_ArcGISPro.tbx`. | ||
containing `FwDET_ArcGISPro.tbx`. | ||
3. Expand the toolbox and double click on the tool version you wish to | ||
use. | ||
