Abstract

Disasters caused by snowmelt flood in mountains and high latitudes (e.g. Xinjiang, China) happen seriously every year for the lack of effective means for accurate prediction, early warning and risk assessment at present. As snowmelt flood involves meteorology, hydrology, disaster science and other disciplines, multidisciplinary research is demanded largely. This paper comprehensively considers the integration of snow-covered area monitoring, snow-depth retrieval, snowmelt runoff, hydrology and the assessment of disaster risk, proposes a new risk assessment framework for snowmelt flood. And then the extraction of hydro-network with Arc Hydro Tools is described taking Juntanghu Basin, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, China where snowmelt flood happens frequently as a case. Hydro-Network is a data model for following hydrology simulation.
