  • Patent number: 11237148
    Abstract: Moisture content information in soil at a specified site is acquired. Moisture content information a ground surface within a given range that includes the specified site is acquired. An amount of runoff or storage volume of water on the ground surface or in a ground at a freely-selected site in the given range is calculated based on the moisture content information in soil and the moisture content information at the ground. A degree of risk of flood disaster at the freely-selected site within the given range is calculated based on the amount of runoff or storage volume of water on the ground surface. A point where there is the risk of flood disaster within the given range is determined and highlighted based on the degree of risk of flood disaster.
