Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes executing, via a flood simulation model, a computer simulation that simulates flooding within a target spatial area based on an input of a geospatial dataset and the rainfall intensity data of one or more flooding events associated with the target spatial area; determining normalized inundation scores for a set of geographical cells and one or more clusters of interconnected geographical cells based on executing the computer simulation; determining, via an optimization algorithm, a set of optimal sensor locations in the target spatial area based on the normalized inundation scores and the one or more clusters of interconnected geographical cells; and generating a sensor location map that includes the set of geographical cells and a set of geospatial markers identifying the set of sensor locations; and generating a visual output that displays the sensor location map.
