URBAN RADAR TOOL^

Weather Radar Data in Urban Drainage Modelling

This 2-day course provides a general introduction to weather radars and data from these with special focus on Local Area Weather Radar (LAWR) data, followed by hands-on exercises using radar data in MIKE URBAN. The course will provide professionals with the basic knowledge required to use weather radar data as input to urban drainage models. Each participant receives a copy of the MIKE URBAN Radar tool software and is trained in using it. It is an advantage if the participants have prior experience with MIKE URBAN, while prior knowledge of weather radars is not required.

Topics

  • Fundamentals of weather radars and their data
  • Radar calibration and uncertainties
  • MIKE URBAN radar tool – applying radar data in MIKE URBAN
  • Shift from uniformly to geographically distributed rainfall in model input
  • MIKE URBAN model adaptation to radar data
  • Visualization of radar data in MIKE URBAN
  • Hands-on exercises

GANDALF ^

Time Series Data Processing for Modelling and Monitoring Water

This 2-day course is focused on time series data processing. Examples presented are prepared from monitoring campaigns of flow, water levels and rain intensities. Participants are expected to have a background in measurement of hydraulic and meteorological parameters; basic knowledge of hydraulic would be an advantage. Participants are welcome to come with own data.

Topics

  • Introduction to time series data
  • Gandalf Project principles and set-up
  • Import, processing and export of the data
  • Advanced analyses with time series data
  • Statistics and reporting
  • Hands-on exercises

URBAN DRAINAGE MASTER PLANS (UDMP) ^

Modelling and Monitoring for Rehabilitation and Master Planning of Urban Water Systems

The purpose of this 3-day course is to give professionals who work with urban drainage management a greater understanding of master planning and the procedures and tools available for its implementation.The course focuses on the techniques and tools available for UDMP elaboration as well as supporting urban drainage management decisions. Participants should have a background in hydraulics and sanitary engineering or similar.

Topics

  • Introduction
  • Input data processing
  • Application of monitoring results
  • Advanced simulation models
  • Engineering solutions related to general urban concept
  • Results presentation tools
  • Hands-on exercises

URBAN FLOODING ANALYSIS & MANAGEMENT ^

Preparing for Flooding and the impact of Climate Change on Your City

An increasing number of urban areas are under constant risk of flooding. Intense rainfall overwhelms the drainage system, or extreme sea levels, overtop dikes and inundate our cities. The risks are amplified by the expected effects of climate change. A wide variety of computer-based tools are available for understanding urban flooding, analysing "what-if" scenarios and trying out mitigation measures. These tools vary considerably in complexity and applicability.

A wide variety of computer based tools are available for understanding urban flooding, analysing 'what-if' scenarios and trying out mitigation measures. This 3-day course aims to bridge the gap between the availability of technically sound analysis tools and their practicable application within the constraints of time, cost and quality, public acceptance and political approval. The course is designed for engineers and planners. Priority is given to participants with computer modelling experience and who are familiar with ArcGIS, MIKE URBAN (or MOUSE), and MIKE FLOOD prior to the course.

Topics

  • Introduction to urban flooding
  • Review of available urban flood analysis tools
  • Flood problem identification techniques
  • Analysis of flood problems
  • Analysis of the impacts of climate change on urban flooding
  • Interpretation of modelling results
  • Testing and implementation of flood mitigation measures
  • Hands-on exercises
