TU-Dresden is involved in different tasks of FLOODsite.
Task 21 - Case study Elbe: rainfall-runoff-modelling for the Mulde catchment
TU Dresden is associated in the european FLOODsite projekt and participates in the case study Elbe which is conducted in five selected pilot catchments located in Germany and the Czech Republic. The findings will allow for the assessment of the FLOODsite-methodology as an approach for an integrated flood risk management in large river basins.
Using appropriate rainfall runoff models Prevah (Precipitation-Runoff-Evapotranspiration-Hydrotop model) and WaSim-ETH (Wasserhaushalts-Simulationsmodell ETH) we investigate the impacts of several weather and landuse scenarios on runoff generation characteristics in the Mulde catchment.
Task 1 - Update of a hydrologic-hydraulic model at regional scale
Within the framework of the FLOODsite project the work will focus on the use of Prevah for hydrologic-hydraulic modelling on a regional scale, and on the use of real time discharge data for updating the model predictions at internal sections of the river network. Models for operational stream flow forecasting shall use measured runoff data and correct the model parameters for improving the forecast accuracy
