Project: Variability of Short-term Precipitation and Runoff in Small Catchments and its Influence on Water Resources Management

The aim of the project is to elaborate a methodology and WMS utility for deriving short-term design precipitation series, which could be utilized by a broad community of scientists, state administration as well as design planners. The outcomes of the project will especially be helpful in modelling hydrological or soil erosion problems when designing common measures for promoting water retention or landscape drainage systems in or out of the scope of Landscape consolidation projects. The precipitation scenarios will be analysed and derived from observed data from point gauging stations and radar data in terms of events’ return period, rainfall total amount, internal intensity distribution and spatial distribution over the area of Czech republic. The methodology will account for the choice of the simulation model. Several representative practically oriented models will be tested for the sensitivity of the ouputs to the selected precipitation scenario comparing to variability caused by other inputs uncertainty. The variability of the outputs will also be assessed in the context of economical impacts in design of landscape water structures or mitigation measures.
