Abstract

Design and development of an internet-based flood forecasting system using real-time rainfall, radar and river flow data M. Butts', A. Klinting*, T. van Kalken^, D. Cadmair', C. Fenn*, & J.

Such flood forecasting systems must provide reliable, accurate and timely forecasts for a range of catchments; from small rapidly responding urban areas, to large, more slowly responding fluvial systems, often within the same region. Forecasting of fast response catchments requires rainfall-runoff modelling combined with real-time precipita
