Abstract

AbstractThrough utilizing weather radar measurements, the present research explores the possibility of applying a coupled distributed hydrological model with reservoir operations to flood forecasting and control in the Okutone basin, located in the upstream region of the Tone River. The Tone River basin often suffers from heavy rainfall events as a result of rainy season frontal activity, typhoons and cumulus cloud activity associated with the local circulation. The reservoirs located in the Okutone basin play an important role in flood regulation. The simulation of a flood event in August 2001 shows the potential applicability of the distributed hydrological model and weather radar measurements for real‐time flood control.
