3 1. CONTEXT Urban pluvial flooding: challenges and needs Tackling the challenges
4 URBAN PLUVIAL FLOODING Extreme rainfall events exceed the capacity of the drainage system
5 URBAN PLUVIAL FLOODING Insufficient capacity of sewer system Surface flow (overland system) Dynamic interactions between the two systems It s localised and happens quickly flash floods
6 Model Assembly for Pluvial Flood Modelling, Forecasting and Management Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) S u p p o r t e d b y d a t a (m o n i t o r i n g) Same framework as other types of flooding, but for urban pluvial flooding each step is a bit more complex
7 Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) The rainfall events which generate pluvial flooding are often associated with thunderstorms of small spatial scale (~ 10 km), whose magnitude and spatial distribution are difficult to monitor and predict (also: lead time vs. accuracy) Rainfall estimates/forecasts with fine spatial and temporal resolution required
8 Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Urban jungle is complex Interaction of sewer and overland systems Since flooding is localised, models must have fine spatio-temporal resolution Model detail vs. Runtime Bi-directional interaction Effective rainfall Surface component Sub-surface component Sewer flow
9 Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Urban catchments change constantly Complete flood records for calibration and verification are seldom available High uncertainty in boundary conditions High operational uncertainty (blockages, pipe burst, pump failure, change in geometry of roads and other channels, etc.) Individual sources of uncertainty are magnified by small scale
10 Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Uncertainty in modelling and forecasting hinders decision making Low awareness Given rapid onset and short forecasting lead-times, the public become the principal responders, but they are not so willing to respond Lack of coordination between stakeholders involved Budgetary cuts
11 Tackling the Challenges Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency)
12 Tackling the Challenges Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Improved rainfall monitoring (X-band radar, high quality radar protocols, rain gauges) Rainfall processing techniques to improve accuracy and resolution Improved nowcasting based on improved rainfall estimates Numerical Weather Prediction: UM/MM5 T = Current STATISTICALLY DOWNSCALING i i Temporal km 1-2 km 1 km m 1 km t Spatial Meteorological Radar C-Band X-Band CALIBRATION T = Future t Ground Raingauge Network
13 Tackling the Challenges Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Monitoring (Q, h) Development and testing of models of different levels of complexity Uncertainty analysis and uncertainty-based model calibration Definition of local pluvial flood triggers Pilot forecasting system
14 Tackling the Challenges Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Stakeholder engagement in local flood risk management Decision making for emergency management and spatial planning supported by improved monitoring, modelling and forecasting
15 Tackling the Challenges Rainfall Estimation / Forecasting Flood Modelling / Forecasting Management (urban planning, emergency) Improved rainfall monitoring (X-band radar, high quality radar protocols, rain gauges) Rainfall processing techniques to improve accuracy and resolution Improved nowcasting based on improved rainfall estimates Monitoring (Q, h) Development and testing of models of different levels of complexity Uncertainty analysis and uncertainty-based model calibration Definition of local pluvial flood triggers Pilot forecasting system Stakeholder engagement in local flood risk management Decision making for emergency management and spatial planning supported by improved monitoring, modelling and forecasting WEB SERVICES are being used to enable easy access to data in a standardise way and implementation of processing modules which can be used interoperably.

X band radars attenuate very easily, so they are used for short range weather observation.

27 Level sensors Rain gauge networks DVD RW We are using a Sensor Observation Service (SOS) server to store rainfall data from multiple sources in a standardised way SOS server SOS qualified servers must have a standard interface This standard interface comprises a number of standard (and flexible enough) functions which allow querying data from the database Exchange takes place using standard protocols SOS Client A user can query data from the SOS server using simple scripts written in any computing language making use of existing SOS libraries (which contain standard SOS functions)
28 Standard SOS functions (Server) Querying observations and sensor metadata Getting representations of observed features Adding new sensors and removing existing ones Inserting/deleting sensor observations SOS User A number of libraries freely available, which allow: Querying and downloading data from the SOS server Performing standard functions Outputting data in standard GML format and other formats (which depend on the library you use e.g. sos4r can output CSV, arrays which can be used internally for analysis and visualisation, formats compatible with Web Processing Services)
29 Example of a query from a user using an SOS library for R
30 Example of output in GML (Geography Markup Language) standard format
31 Plotting of data downloaded from SOS server (plotting done using functions of programming language)
32 3. RAINFALL PROCESSING TECHNIQUES Aimed at improving accuracy and resolution of rainfall estimates Two techniques have been developed, tested and implemented as Web Processing Services (WPS): Merging of radar and raingauge rainfall estimates Rainfall downscaling
33 Rainfall is the main input for urban pluvial flood models and the uncertainty associated to it dominates the overall uncertainty in the modelling and forecasting of these type of flooding (Golding, 2009) We really need to get the rainfall right!
34 Two essential characteristics of rainfall estimates Accuracy: critical! Especially for urban hydrological applications, where errors in rainfall estimates are magnified by the small scale Resolution: for urban hydrological applications spatial and temporal resolution must be high
35 Sensors commonly used for estimation of rainfall at catchment scales Raingauge Weather Radar RAINGAUGE RADAR Accuracy Coverage, spatial characterisation of rainfall field Resolution Further processing of radar rainfall estimates can improve its applicability (in terms of accuracy and resolution) to urban hydrological applications
36 Two techniques have been studied Gauge-based radar rainfall adjustment: aims at combining the advantages of radar and raingauge sensors to have a better spatial description and local accuracy of urban rainfall Cascade-based spatial downscaling: aims at producing rainfall estimates with finer spatial resolution (< 1 km)
37 RADAR-RAINGAUGE MERGING OR ADJUSMENT Aim: To combine the advantages of radar and raingauge sensors to have a better spatial description and local accuracy of urban rainfall Interpolated rainfall field Radar image Output rainfall field
38 Rain Depth (mm) Why we need to adjust radar rainfall data? 25 Beal HS raingauge Cumulative rainfall Rain Depth depth (23/08/2010 accumulations: 23/08/2010 RG event Beal_RG Radar 1km Raingauge 10 Collocated radar pixel :05 01:05 02:05 03:05 04:05 05:05 06:05 07:05 Time (5 min) Urban drainage models are normally calibrated using raingauge data
39 Based on their assumption, gauge-based radar rainfall adjustment techniques can be classified into two types Mean Bias Correction Error Variance Minimisation
40 Principle of Bayesian Data Combination RG data Radar data a) b) Block-Kriging interpolation comparison c) d) combination f) e) error field fitted by an exponential variogram In this process the variance of the error is minimised output g) [Image : Ehret et al., 2008] [Source: Todini, 2001]
41 Four recorded events in the period of over the Cranbrook catchment were studied Convective Event Duration RG total (1) (mm) Stratiform total (2) (mm) Radar total (mm) Sample bias B i = (1)/(2) 23/08/ hr /05/ hr /06/ hr /01/ hr Bias is event-varying, separate adjustment for each event is required
42 Both rainfall profiles and accumulations can be significantly improved through adjustment Rain depth (mm) Rainrate (mm/hr) Mean Rainrate: 23/08/2010 event Bayesian adjusted Mean bias adjusted Raingauge Mean RGs Radar 1km Corrected Radar 1km Bayesian Radar 1km Radar 2 0 0:05 1:05 2:05 3:05 4:05 5:05 6:05 7:05 Time (5min) Mean RGs Radar 1km Corrected Radar 1km Bayesian Radar 1km Mean Rainfall Accummulation: 23/08/2010 event Raingauge Bayesian adjusted Mean bias adjusted Radar 0 0:05 1:05 2:05 3:05 4:05 5:05 6:05 7:05 Time (5 min)

46 Combined Application Merging & Downscaling Adjustment of 1 km data -> Downscaling to 500 m event event
47 Measurement of the impact of bias and resolution Water Flow Depth level Us Uadjusted t Uadjusted: Us: difference in water depth estimates resulting from bias correction range of water depth estimates resulting from downscaling
48 Us Uadjusted X 100 scale Upstream Midestream Downstream Mean Max Mean Max Mean Max 1 km m /08/2010 event km m km m km m /05/2011 event km m km m km m /06/2011 event km m km m /01/2012 event 1 km m km m km m
49 In most cases, gauge-based radar rainfall adjustment shows larger impact on the subsequent hydraulic outputs: In general Accuracy is more important than Resolution! However, it may be possible that in small areas the impact of fine-scale spatial variability of rainfall is relatively more important than the bias observed in radar estimates. We will continue to study the impact of bias and resolution based on more rainfall events
50 These two rainfall processing techniques have been implemented as Web Processing Services (WPS) WPS Interface Standard provides rules for standardising inputs and outputs for invoking geospatial processing services as web services Data Merging WPS server Hydrological Modelling Downscaling Allow taking advantage of distributed computing more efficient than doing this in your own computer Since it follows a standard interface, it can be easily used by clients Facilitates knowledge sharing testing of algorithms without you having to implement them Client
51 4. PUTTING THE JIGSAW TOGETHER We now have a series of building blocks which use standard interfaces and can be easily linked

54 5. CONCLUSIONS
55 Sensor Observation Services (SOS) Enable storing and accessing data from multiple sensors in a standardised way Data are centralised but can be easily accessed by a number of clients (who can use existing libraries and simple scripts for querying the SOS database) Allow interoperational use of data Facilitate access to data, data exchange and display Useful for participatory modelling / management of hydrological systems
56 Web Processing Services (WPS) Allow taking advantage of distributed computing Facilitate knowledge transfer and sharing Facilitate quick testing and comparison of different models / algorithms
57 Web Services as a whole Make hydrological monitoring and modelling resource-effective Highly flexible you jigsaw can be as simple or complex as you wish Facilitate knowledge transfer and sharing Standard formats can facilitate and speed up implementation of models / tools Plenty of tools freely available online
