Spatial Aggregation of Rainfall on Flood Modelling

The book "Spatial Aggregation of Rainfall on Flood Modelling" by Wuletawu Abera provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of spatial aggregation of rainfall on the responses of catchments during flood events. It examines how uncertainties in describing the spatial variability of rainfall are considered a major source of errors in modeling rainfall-runoff processes. By employing the Kinematic Local Excess Model and high-resolution radar rainfall data, a comparison is made between lumped and spatio-temporal rainfall data. The book utilizes the concept of Spatial Moments of Catchment Rainfall (SMCR) to characterize the spatial organization of rainfall and illustrate its influence on flood response. It is aimed at professionals in hydrology, geography, and geology, offering valuable insights into the modeling and simulation of flood events.
