River flood spreading prediction system using cellular automata (Case study Bengawan Solo River)

Bojonegoro is a city in Indonesia which annually floods. The flood disaster caused by the Solo River provides a great loss. Flood prediction and modeling of spreading needed to be able to minimize losses caused by flooding. By doing prediction, flood-affected areas can be known from the outset to allow for flood prevention measures. Cellular automata algorithms used in this study to determine the direction of the spread flooding. Cellular automata algorithms process the elevation data, soil type data, river mapping data, river volume changes data and rainfall data. The prediction results are presented in 2-dimensional images so as to facilitate the visualization of the distribution of flood observation.
