New method for analyzing local flood

Flooding in small precipitation fields is a growing problem for infrastructure such as culverts and culverts by roads and railways. Planning such fields can be extremely difficult, as there are relatively few small fields with measurements. Such fields also respond quickly to precipitation, and therefore require good time resolution data to accurately model flood situations. In a new PhD Thesis Aynalem Tassachew Tsegaw one has compensated for missing data and developed a method for setting up a hydrological model in precipitation fields where no measurements are available. The method is important for the planning and operation of particularly roads and railways.
