Abstract
Floods are among the most common natural disasters responsible for severe damages and human losses. Numerically produced data, managed by user-friendly tools for geographically referenced data, has been adopted to increase preparedness and reduce vulnerabilities. This paper describes the locally sensed and numerically produced data that characterize a flood event occurred in February 2016 in the Portuguese Águeda river, shortly referred as Agueda.2016Flood. The data was managed through the RiverCure Portal, a collaborative web platform connected to a validated shallow-water model featuring modelled dynamic bed geometries and sediment transport. The dataset provides a synthesis of topo-bathymetric, hydrometric and numerically-produced data from a calibrated hydrodynamic model. Due to the lack of measured hydrometric data near the city, the numerically produced data is crucial for the complete description of the flood event. The Agueda.2016Flood dataset constitutes a complete validation test for flood forecasting models and a tool to better mitigate floods in this river and in similar rivers. Thus, Agueda.2016Flood is a relevant dataset for River Águeda stakeholders as well as for the community of flood modellers, as it provides a well-documented validation event for forecasting tools.
