Objective
The principal objective of the present work is to apply a stochastic state space modelling approach to the assimilation of a multitude of rainfall and runoff data for planning and real time control. This work will utilise new, and novel research utilising the attenuation of microwave signals to give improved measurements of the quantity of water in weather systems in spatial and temporal terms. The aim is to construct a comprehensive and flexible tool for the entire rainfall -runoff system and to examine the importance of various measurements when applied to planning and model predictive real time control. The work includes a number of field experiments that will gather data for use in the development of the new models and techniques. The fieldwork will also provide proof that the deployment of the new microwave technologies is technically feasible and that it can be cost effective and affordable.
