WRF Hydro

The WRF-Hydro® Project creates cutting-edge hydrometeorological and hydrologic models, as well as modelling support tools, to address important water challenges around the world. As an open platform, we aspire to create and promote a diverse and inclusive community of hydrologic scientists and practitioners to satisfy the global demand for water resource planning, hazard prediction, and mitigation.

Water has no limits, and neither should the society that studies it.

The WRF-Hydro architecture simplifies integrating hydrological models into the WRF framework, offering a scalable environment for hypothesis testing, sensitivity analysis, data assimilation, and environmental prediction. It uses community-based development processes, with NCAR and other NSF entities developing support structures.

WRF-Hydro®, an open-source community model, is utilised for a variety of tasks, including flash flood prediction, regional hydroclimate impact assessment, seasonal forecasting of water resources, and land-atmosphere coupling research.

Input: Hydrometeorological, Landuse and Landcover data

Output: Precipitation / Streamflow

How to calculate Water Quality Index considering the source type,intended use and climate ?

This WQI's primary innovation is that it calculates the WQI based on the type of source from which water is collected, the WQI's intended use, and the local climate at the time the samples were retrieved. The source or location from where the sample is collected has an impact on the quality of water which the index must incorporate at the time of calculation. The purpose for which the water quality index is calculated changes the weightage of the importance of the different quality parameters. For example, if WQI is calculated for knowing how drinkable the sample is then the weightage of coliform will increase compared to other parameters as the presence of coliform in the drinking water can not be permitted. The climate of the area from where the water is collected is another criterion to consider at the time of calculating the WQI. Based on the climate also the weightage of water quality parameters will vary. There will be a difference in the weight of importance if the sampl...

Five Most Extreme Hydrologic Events that changed the World

Typhoon Tip, Philipines(Collected from : CSMonitor ) Devastating storms, severe flood, acute famine conditions, etc. hydrological events of extreme nature has changed human history. Any event which is not normal is known as an abnormal event. In the case of hydrology, an event that has a return period of more than 100 years is considered Extreme. According to Herring(2020) of Climate.gov, "An extreme event is a time and place in which weather, climate, or environmental conditions—such as temperature, precipitation, drought, or flooding—rank above a threshold value near the upper or lower ends of the range of historical measurements." Though the threshold is not objective, few researchers have defined "extreme events as those that occur in the highest or lowest 5% or 10% of historical measurements". Some have described events by their deviation from the mean, or by their occurrence interval. Here the most severe five extreme hydrologic events were discussed which ...

FIVE MOST PROMISING TOPICS OF RESEARCH IN RAINFALL NOWCASTING

See the video or Download the clickable version The process of forecasting the rainfall after two or less than two-hour is known as Rainfall nowcasts(RN). The model which predicts such a very short-term storm is referred to as the Rainfall Nowcasting model (RNM). Due to the high amount of variability involved the development of accurate nowcast models is a challenging task. Due to the increase in climatic variability and urbanization, the need for such models for the design and development of accommodative infrastructures is increasing. That is why five of the most important research topics related to rainfall nowcasting are delineated below : @Mrinmoy's Page Share your data requirement , @Merchandise or @ Shop Add to Listy
