Abstract / Summary:
Preface
This report summarises an evaluation by the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology of recent advances in real-time rainfall-runoff models. These innovations are designed to improve the quality of flood warning services in Australia.
The models were evaluated using data from fourteen catchments in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. Full details of the work can be found in a series of Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Working Documents and Reports (see 'Further Reading' section).
Through this project - 'Developement of an improved real-time flood forecasting model' (Project D4) - the CRC has successfully identified techniques to improve current models, and has produced new procedures for model implementation, The project has also provided an approach for evaluating the effect of such improvements, and its results provide a basis for assessment of current practice.
The work was undertaken primarily by Sri Srikanthan and Soori Sooriyakumaran at the Bureau of Meteorology, and with support from Peter Hill (data preparation), Hassan Khan (Xinanjiang and AWBM modelling) and Avijeet Ramchurn (URBS modelling). The project was guided by a reference panel comprising Russell Mein, Tom McMahon, Peter Baddiley and Geoff Crapper, along with the project research staff.
