The model was delivered to FFD/PMD in March 2014 and ran on a trial basis during the 2014 flood season for its calibration and validation. visualization of areas likely to be submergeddata are required for modelling flood flows and to produccorrect inundation maps. 0000011542 00000 n

as “Flood Forecasting and Warning System (FFWS)” in this report. This was also the result from a group exercise and a survey conducted to operational forecasters within the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) to identify the top priorities of improvement regarding their own system. In addition, the affine kernel dressing method is applied to the raw ensemble to obtain another ensemble. In 2012, the Philippines launched a responsive program for disaster prevention and mitigation called the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards (Project NOAH), specifically for government warning agencies to be able to provide a 6. hr lead-time warning to vulnerable communities against impending floods and to use advanced technology to enhance current geo-hazard vulnerability maps. Advances in hydroinformatics are helping to understand these physical processes, with improvements in the collection and analysis of hydrological data, information and communication technologies (ICT), and geographic information systems (GIS), offering opportunities for innovations in model implementation, to improve decision support for the response to societally important floods impacting our societies. addressed including • Production of useful meteorological products The present paper reviews different aspects of flood forecasting, including the models being used, emerging techniques of collecting inputs and displaying results, uncertainties, and warnings. very young or old and mobi-warnings, movement of assets (food, livestock, moveableand timely operation of flood regulation infrastructure, andinitiation of flood fighting measures.
In addition, this report aims to propose a master plan for strengthening FFWS. Flood forecasting can be defined as a process of estimating and predicting the magnitude, timing and duration of flooding based on known characteristics of a river basin, with the aim to prevent damages to human life, to properties, and to the environment.The challenge of hydrometeorological flood forecasting presents a complicated task but promises significant gain when successful. The methods assessment and comparison are carried out on a dam break over a flat bed without friction, a dam break over a triangular bottom sill and a dam break flow over a 90° bend. 0000037769 00000 n

The hydrometeorological community should redouble research and operational efforts to improve the flood alert and warning systems, especially in an era of rapid land use and climate changes.Attempts to apply process-based hydrological models to simulate the hydrology of the Congo Basin on a large scale can be attributed to a few recent studies such as Clearly, the discrepancies in the above-mentioned studies reveal the difficulty of modeling studies to represent properly the complexity of hydrological processes in the Congo Basin.
