Assessment
Ten years along different Flood Early Warning Systems in Spain, and academic stays or visits to Denmark, Netherlands and UK, provided experience for a set of Hydro-Meteorological or HYDROMET services:
- Hydrological monitoring networks with cross-validation of data, and real time workflow design and exploitation, managing two Delft-FEWS flood forecasting systems.
- Prediction at catchment scales: reservoir management and hydropower.
- Remote sensing exploitation from satellites using several reflectance bands.
- Statistical treatment for extreme events and return periods, evaluation of Climate Change trends and regression models.
- Flood forecasting and risk management: mitigation and resilience policies, dam breaching and tailings dam effects, all supported by modelling with 2D software: FLO-2D, HEC-RAS, Iber, Infoworks ICM, academic Lisflood-FP, Mike Flood, RiverFlow2D, academic Trent.
- Data-assimilation and coupling with Hydrological schemes: Deltares-HBV, DHI-NAM, UPV-Tetis.
- Artificial Intelligence algorithms for segmentation of large bulks of HYDROMET data.
