With steep slope and strong rainfall intensity, landslide and debris flow could generate huge amount of sediment yield from the watershed, typically during typhoon floods in Taiwan. As such huge amount of sediment moved into a reservoir, serious sedimentation problem reduced storage of reservoir due to decrease of flow velocity and without sufficient sediment releasing bottom outlet. As a result, using flood discharge to release sediment during Typhoon or rain fall duration is very important. This study adopts the data of field observation from outlet structures of the Shihmen reservoir to establish the operational strategies of sediment releasing rule and …

Estimation Of Offtake Discharge And Cross-Device Parameters Using Data Assimilation For The Automatic Control Of An Irrigation Canal, Pierre-Olivier Malaterre, David Dorchies, Jean-Pierre Baume
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
The automatic control of open surface hydraulic systems such as Rivers (with dams and/or hydropower plants) or irrigation canals (with gated cross-devices) almost always use hydraulic models. These models can be used in different manners, either just to test and validate controllers prior to implementation, to tune the controller parameters off-line, or used on-line in real-time. The control algorithm calculates the control action variables u, using measured variables z obtained from the real system, in order to achieve some objectives for some controlled variables y. These models have always limited precision due to unknown or wrong: parameters, input variables and …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
There are several key modelling challenges in addressing the complementary requirements of the Water Framework Directive and the Groundwater Directive. The first is to consider groundwater, surface water, water quality and ecosystems as an integrated system and develop modelling tools capable of representing these interactions. For example, the restoration of wetlands often requires an understanding of the interaction of surface water and groundwater quantity and quality. Secondly while static indicator-based or statistical approaches are widely used for overall management, the actual ecosystem is highly dynamic and both the actual response to different threats and impact of measures will also be …

Meteomap: Generation Of Meteorological Variables For Distributed Physically-Based Hydrological Modeling, Cristina Aguilar, Javier Herrero, Agustín Millares, Miguel A. Losada, María José Polo
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Distributed energy and water balance models require time-series surfaces of the meteorological variables involved in hydrological processes. Most of the hydrological GIS-based models apply simple interpolation techniques to extrapolate the point scale values registered at weather stations at a watershed scale. In mountainous areas, where the monitoring network ineffectively covers the complex terrain heterogeneity, simple geostatistical methods for spatial interpolation are not always representative enough, and algorithms that explicitly or implicitly account for the features creating strong local gradients in the meteorological variables must be applied. Originally developed as a meteorological pre-processing tool for a complete hydrological model (WiMMed), MeteoMap …

Hydrological Ensemble Forecasting And Data Assimilation With An Integrated Hydrological Modelling System, Henrik Madsen, Diana Lucatero, Marc Ridler, Donghua Zhang, Jens Christian Refsgaard, Karsten Høgh Jensen
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Hydrological forecasting is an important instrument for more effective water management, such as warning and protection against water-related hazards, real-time operation of water infrastructure, improved water allocation, and environmental monitoring. Recent advances within radar rainfall estimation and nowcasting, ensemble-based numerical weather prediction (NWP), in-situ and satellite monitoring, and hydrological data assimilation are opening up new opportunities in real-time hydrological forecasting. NWP ensemble products can be used as input to hydrological forecast models to produce probabilistic forecasts and estimation of forecast uncertainty of the hydrological variables of interest. In this regard, key scientific challenges are understanding, quantification, and propagation of the …

Floodalert: A Simplified Radar-Based Ews For Urban Flood Warning, Xavier Llort, Rafael Sánchez-Diezma, Alvaro Rodríguez, David Sancho, Marc Berenguer, Daniel Sempere-Torres
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Urban floods can be caused by intense rainfall accumulations in short time periods that eventually exceed the capacity of the sewer networks. Despite the efforts made in the last years in all cities to increase the sewer’s capacity many cities are still exposed to these heavy rainfall events. In this work, we present a simplified flood Early Warning System, called FloodAlert, based on the use of radar observations to issue local flood warnings. Although precipitation accumulation estimates based on radar observations may suffer from different sources of error, they may also be the quickest way to obtain a reliable estimate …

Hidromet: A Cloud-Based Ews Platform For Real Time Urban Flood Warning, Alvaro Rodríguez, Xavier Llort, David Sancho, Rafael Sánchez-Diezma, Ramon Bella, Vicente Gomez
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Urban real time flood’s Early Warning Systems have been traditionally based on the use of punctual precipitation observations (raingauges) to model the sewer network’s behaviour by means of hydraulic models. Since a key issue in the EWS is the leadtime in detecting potential risks, Hidromet takes advantage of radar nowcasting techniques to feed a hydraulic model, not only with observed precipitation by raingauges, but also with forecasted precipitation for the following few hours. Radar nowcasting techniques allow forecasting the precipitation with a high degree of accuracy. This fact, together with the rapid update of the forecasts (typically around 10 minutes), …

Hydrodynamic And Water Quality Surrogate Modeling For Reservoir Operation, Juan Aguilar, Schalk-Jan Van Andel, Micha Werner, Dimitri P. Solomatine
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
A methodology is developed for reservoir release decisions considering forecasted downstream dissolved oxygen local conditions. River water quality management using reservoirs focuses mainly on how to develop a release schedule that may improve downstream conditions based on the seasonal change of the water quality within the reservoir. This improvement, however does not take into account the downstream local water quality state, which in certain cases might be more important, as the pollutant load downstream could be diluted with the upstream available volume released from the reservoir. Field sampling collected data suggest that the dissolved oxygen concentration decay produced by polluted …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Information-theory provides, among others, conceptual methods to quantify the amount of information contained in a random variable, as well as methods to quantify the amount of information contained and shared among two or more variables. Although these concepts have been successfully applied in Hydrology and other fields, the valuation of these quantities is sensible to different parameters used to estimate the probabilities that underline the entropy concept. Typical examples are the bin size of histograms used to compute probabilities and the Kendall correlation coefficient used to estimate copula entropy. The selection of these parameters has subsequent effects on other Information …

Model Predictive Control Of Water Levels In A Navigation Canal Affected By Resonance Waves, Klaudia Horváth, Eric Duviella, Mihály Petreczky, Lala Rajaoarisoa, Karine Chucket
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
In order to operate navigation canals several requirements need to be met: keeping minimum ecological flow, flood protection, but also for safe operation the water level has to be kept within a certain range around the normal navigation level. The water level is disturbed by several factors: known (measured tributaries) and unknown (unknown tributaries, rain) inputs. However, the most important one is the operation of the locks. If the navigation reach is bounded by locks that overcome large elevation differences, their operation can create big disturbances. These locks should be operated fast enough to allow the crossing of several boats, …

Offset Free Model Predictive Control Of An Open Water Reach, Boran Ekin Aydin, Peter-Jules Van Overloop, Xin Tian
International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Model predictive control (MPC) is a powerful tool which is used more and more to managing water systems such as reservoirs over a short-term prediction horizon. However, due to unknown disturbances present in the water system and other uncertainties, there is always a mismatch between the model and the actual system. To overcome this mismatch and achieve offset free control of the water system, the internal model of the MPC is updated by adding the disturbance dynamics of the actual system by means of a disturbance model. In this paper, the conditions to achieve offset free control for an open …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Drought is a natural disaster that affects millions of people across the globe. Lack of rainfall reduces crop yields and livestock productivity and in turn, food availability and income. In developing countries, these effects are even more detrimental. As droughts become more frequent, adaptation is a fundamental concern for countries and their policy makers. Hydrologic and system dynamics models were developed for a region in East Africa, focused on the Horn of Africa (ie. a region bordering Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia), an area well-known for frequent droughts due to unpredictable rainfall and high temperatures. The models simulate the interdependencies between …

International Conference on Hydroinformatics
Water quantity and quality monitoring plays a key role towards the development of a sustainable water sector. The required infrastructure needed to monitor and manage surface and groundwater systems are often lacking particularly in developing countries. When available, water quantity and quality data are invariably fragmented, intermittent, not shared, with deficient metadata, and stored in formats that hinder establishing seamless coupling with hydrological models. Most data are saved locally with little attention placed on defining and maintaining metadata on the collection protocols, geographic referencing, measurement accuracy, resolution, detection limits, and data censorship. These limitations present serious challenges in reaching sound …
