To implement high resolution rainfall estimates and forecasts into improved urban storm water models in order to enhance urban pluvial flood modelling and short term prediction.
The small scale and fast response of urban catchments means that very detailed urban storm water models are required to well represent urban runoff processes. However, more detailed models require higher resolution data for their implementation and forcing, and also have higher computational requirements. Within this work package several modelling tools have been investigated, improved, developed and tested. Based upon this, recommendations for enhanced urban pluvial flood modelling and forecasting have been made.
The deliverables of this and other work packages can be found here.
