A Method to Assess Localized Impact of Better Floodplain Topography on Flood Risk Prediction

Many studies have highlighted the need for a higher accuracy global digital elevation model (DEM), mainly in river floodplains and deltas and along coastlines. In this paper, we present a method to infer the impact of a better DEM on applications and science using the Lower Zambezi basin as a use ca...
