and Distributed Hydrological Modelling
ICSW
As radar hydrology is rapidly developing, its combined use with distributed hydrological modelling creates powerful numerical tools for forecasting storms, floods and related natural disasters. Such tools when used with long data records can also contribute rich information to water resources assessments. However, fundamental issues of model development associated with the existence of uncertainties or errors in radar rainfall estimation and prediction, and in distributed model parameters, require further study. This session will focus on the issues of radar hydrology and distributed hydrological modelling.
