1) The document presents an extension of an existing regional Flood Portal in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic to provide online spatial analysis capabilities.
2) It uses the OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) protocol to communicate between the mapping client and the GRASS GIS server, allowing spatial analysis functions like calculating catchment areas, drainage paths, and flooding or visibility maps.
3) Examples are given of functions added to the portal using GRASS GIS modules, with results exportable in common formats, to provide analytical tools for flood management and planning.

G I 2 0 1 0 D r e s d e n – 10. Sächsisches GIS-Forum
1. The main objective is to present extended
functionality of existing regional Flood Portal -
online available spatial analysis possibilities
2. For the communication between the mapping
application (client) and GRASS GIS, OGC Web
Processing Service protocol was used
(implemented by PyWPS on the server-side).
3. The functionality was made by using GRASS GIS
modules:
r.lake … for flooding r.drain … for runoff
r.water.outlet … for catchement r.los … for visibility

4. OGC Web Processing Service
G I 2 0 1 0 D r e s d e n – 10. Sächsisches GIS-Forum
OGC’s Web Processing Service is defining the way,
geoprocessing operations should be offered over
networks using Web Services.
Can be configured to offer any sort of GIS functionality
to clients across a network.
Data can be stored on the server, sent with the request
or stored on remote servers (WCS, WFS, . . . )
The GIS functionality is referred as process
Scope: To move the geospatial calculations
from client to server

1. Spatial analysis - CATCHMENT / BASIN
Calculation of the catchment area for a given point.
To achieve meaningful results it is necessary to enter a
point on Thalweg.
The result is the area from which water flows to the
specified point
The calculated data
can be downloaded
in GeoTIFF format
