Abstract:

Two main approaches to enhance urban pluvial flood prediction were developed and tested in this research: (1) short-term rainfall forecast based on rain gauge networks, and (2) customisation of urban drainage models to improve hydraulic simulation speed. Rain gauges and level gauges were installed in the Coimbra (Portugal) and Redbridge (UK) catchment areas. The collected data was used to test and validate the approaches developed. When radar data is not available urban pluvial flooding forecasting can be based on networks of rain gauges. Improvements were made in the Support Vector Machine (S

Abstract:

A fast catchment response usually leads to a shorter lag time, and under these conditions the forecast lead time obtained from a rainfall-runoff model or correlation between upstream and downstream flows may be infeasible for flood warning purposes. Additional lead time can be obtained from short-term quantitative rainfall forecasts that extend the flood warning time and increase the economic viability of a flood forecasting system. For this purpose algorithms which forecasts the quantitative rainfall amounts up to six hours ahead have been developed, based on lumped and distributed approaches

Abstract:

Expert computer programs have recently emerged from research on artificial intelligence as a practical problem-solving tool. An expert system is a knowledge-based program that imitates the problem-solving behaviour of a human expert to solve complex real-world problems. While conventional programs organize knowledge on two levels: data and program, most expert programs organize knowledge on three levels: data, knowledge base, and control. Thus, what distinguishes such a system from conventional programs is that in most expert systems the problem solving model is treated as a separate entity ra

Abstract:

Design flood estimates have traditionally been based on records of past events. However, there is a need for a method of estimating peak flows without these records. The Estimated Parameter Flood Forecasting Model (EPFFM) has been developed to provide such a method for small water resource projects based on a 200 year or less design flood. This "user friendly" computer model calculates the expected peak flow and its standard deviation from low, probable, and high estimates of thirteen user supplied parameters. These parameters describe physical characteristics of the drainage basin, infiltrati

Abstract:

The need for reliable, easy to set up and operate, hydrological forecasting systems is an appealing challenge to researchers working in the area of flood risk management. Currently, advancements in computing technology have provided water engineering with powerful tools in modelling hydrological processes, among them, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and genetic algorithms (GA). These have been applied in many case studies with different level of success. Despite the large amount of work published in this field so far, it is still a challenge to use ANN models reliably in a real-time operation

A major area targeted for hydrometeorological forecast service improvements is in flash flood forecasting. Verification data show that general public service products of flash flood forecasts do not provide enough lead time in order for the public to make effective response. Sophisticated users of flash flood forecasts could use forecast probabilities of flash flooding in order to make decisions in preparation for the predicted event. To this end, a systematic probabilistic approach to flash flood forecasting is presented. The work first describes a deterministic system which serves as a conce

Likelihoods based on categorical and probabilistic forecast information for several forecast periods, seasons, and locations are shown and compared.

Flood warning systems have been researched and discussed for several decades and there is a high degree of consensus in the literature that the most effective structure for a flood warning system is that of an integrated system.

Both models performed well but the conceptual model was better at overall hydrograph prediction while the ANN performed better for the initial part of the event at longer lead times.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on integrating rainfall-runoff modelling with a mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) model to make real-time flood forecasts at the catchment scale. Studies carried out are based on catchments in Southwest England with a main focus on the Brue catchment of an area of 135 km2 and covered by a dense network of 49 rain gauges and a C-band weather radar. The studies are composed of three main parts: Firstly, two data mining issues are investigated to enable a better calibrated rainfall-runoff model for flood forecasting. The Probability Distributed Model (PDM) is chosen

Abstract:

碩士<br>逢甲大學<br>水利工程所<br>94<br>Genetic programming is a kind of control theory that spring up in recent years. This deterministic method evolves to adapt itself to the environment of problems. When using deterministic method to infer a hydrology process, the method maybe ignore some of the drastic events. It will increase risk of the flood forecasting. This thesis proposes the classification of typhoon data. The procedure chooses different models of the model bank that according to the structure of data to simulate flooding. After this process, we apply ANFIS to correct the error of GP model
