The purpose of the FRAZIL Project is to develop a GIS-based system in support of winter river flow modelling and ice-related flood forecasting. Usually, in situ measurements and simulation models are used to characterize the state of the river and to foresee its future behaviour. The advantage of using GIS in hydraulic modelling is the potential for extracting topographically correct cross-section data from a DTM that can be used to determine river stage and floodplain extent as calculated in hydraulic modelling software package. However, such applications require a detailed description of the channel geometry and do not deal specifically with winter flow modelling and the presence of an ice cover. River1D, a one-dimensional unsteady flood routing model has been developed to study ice-related events and has been successfully used to adequately predict flood hydrographs over long river reaches, based on relatively limited data. The FRAZIL GIS-based system is well adapted to provide some of the physical characteristics of the river channel. It proposes tools to assist in building the channel geometry, partitioning the river and preparing data for the hydraulic model, while taking advantage of the database and other functions of the ArcGIS software. It is also developed to take advantage of the river ice information which can be derived from a radar image.
