Geoinformational Generalized Flow Formation Model for Solving Problems of Prognostication and Emergency Prevention

The article examines the issues of landscape modeling of hydrological processes. A geoinformational generalized model of flow formation was developed, representing a complex hierarchical system with the spatiotemporal organization of geographic components. The flow is schematized on the basis of the allocation within the basin of homogeneous landscape-hydrological areas and altitudes. This problem is solved by means of GIS technologies based on digital elevation models, soil and landscape maps of various scales, satellite imagery data and processing products.
