Needs and Drivers

DHI

Distributed Flood Hazard Assessment Rain on Grid, with losses (infiltration rate)

Screening for detailed studies10m grid, low relief Rural/urban landuseLevee failure assessment

Waimakarere, South Island NZ

DHI

Wide variety of methods and models available and in development Deterministic/stochastic, lumped/distributed, partial process

models/integrated model/full physics, sequential approaches Full 2D / Quasi 2D / Indexed Flood Mapping

Modern capabilities in IMS, model/data availability and interoperability means that: These approaches are not mutually exclusive and lead to

opportunities for hybrid solutions The ability to run more models, parameters sets, and scenarios The need to manage the flow of data, results, and decisions

= lumped parameter approaches= fewer parameters to calibrate= less data required = faster simulation times

Ability to represent a subset of spatial processes

Useful for: regional basin-wide models models where single processes dominate models with sparse or no calibration data DHI

Hybrid Distributed + Lumped

while maintaining lumped, conceptual

approach where we lack data

grid of net rainfall) Rainfall applied directly to MIKE 21 2D model.

Comparison to Unaccounted Differences


Not a calibration MSHE is able to account

for some of the historical AUD

Better validation can occur once abstraction metering is in place (currently in progress).
