Notice of RetractionThe information management system based on GIS for evaluating loss of flood hazard

Loss evaluation system is a very important non-engineering measure in recent years. Based on the digital topographic map, the information management system for loss evaluating for Huangpu River Basin is established by employing VB based on ArcGIS and SQL server. And with the statistic of each town, various types of land use and different submerged water depth, flood disaster loss is evaluated by this system. It has reasons to believe that the system is useful to provide scientific basis for mastering flood and making decision on flood prevention and disaster reduction.
