abstract = {In flood risk mapping, boundary conditions are  used to prescribe design flood waves. Often, they are only given  by discharge values. However, for hydrodynamic simulations both  a discharge time series upstream and a water level time series  downstream are typically needed as boundary conditions. Thus,  discharge values need to be converted to water levels at the  outflow, for example with a rating curve. At gauged locations  one can simply use the measured discharge-stage relationship as  a rating curve. For ungauged locations one needs to approximate  this mapping. In this poster, we describe geometrical and  numerical methods that improve the automatic generation of  outflow boundary conditions for shallow water schemes. Our  approach performs well on selected gauges in Tirol, Austria.  Finally, we  discuss improving the outflows by avoiding the  static time dependency and we lay out future work.},
