Inverse Flood Risk Modelling Of The Upper Thames River Basin, Predrag Prodanovic, Slobodan P. Simonovic Nov 2006

Inverse Flood Risk Modelling Of The Upper Thames River Basin, Predrag Prodanovic, Slobodan P. Simonovic

Water Resources Research Report

This report aims to present an alternate approach to climate change impact mod- elling of water resources. The focus of the project is on the analysis of existing wa- ter resources management guidelines specifically targeting critical hydrologic events (extreme floods in this case). The critical hydrologic events are converted to their corresponding meteorologic conditions via use of an event based hydrologic model. The local climatic signal is generated by use of a non-parametric weather generator linked to outputs from a global climate model for three climate scenarios, and their corresponding frequency curves generated. Then, a critical hydrologic event of inter- …


Inverse Drought Risk Modelling Of The Upper Thames River Basin, Predrag Prodanovic, Slobodan P. Simonovic Nov 2006

Inverse Drought Risk Modelling Of The Upper Thames River Basin, Predrag Prodanovic, Slobodan P. Simonovic

Water Resources Research Report

This report aims to present an alternate approach to climate change impact mod- elling of water resources. The focus of the project is on the analysis of existing water resources management guidelines specifically targeting critical hydrologic events (ex- treme droughts in this case). The critical hydrologic events are converted to their corresponding meteorologic conditions via use of an appropriate hydrologic model (continuous based hydrologic model for drought analysis). The local climatic signal is generated by use of a non-parametric weather generator linked to outputs from a global circulation model for three climate scenarios, and their corresponding fre- quency curves generated. …


A Decision Support System For Integrated Risk Management, Ibrahim El-Baroudy, Slobodan P. Simonovic Apr 2006

A Decision Support System For Integrated Risk Management, Ibrahim El-Baroudy, Slobodan P. Simonovic

Water Resources Research Report

This report provides a detailed description of the Risk Assessment Support System (RASS) for use in municipal water supply. The report explores the utility of the developed support system for evaluating the performance of a complex water supply system. A regional water supply system for the city of London is used as the case study. The theoretical foundations and computational requirements for the implementation of the RASS are provided in the report.
