1. IIHR SEMINAR (DECEMBER 3, 2010) EVAN ROZ Hydroinformatics: Data Mining in Hydrology

2. UNESCO-IHE, Delft, Dr. Solomatine Hydroinformatics  techniques were adopted from computational intelligence (CI)/intelligent systems/machine learning hydroinformatics  conceptual model : data for calibration.  data-driven model: data for training/validation. Shortcomings:  knowledge extraction Strengths:  models quickly developed  highly accurate short term forecast  feature selection algorithms

3. Data Mining in Hydroinformatics Rainfall-runoff modeling/Short term forecasts (Vos & Rientjes 2007) Rain-fall-runoff and groundwater model calibration-Genetic Algorithm (Franchini 1996) Flood forecasting (Yu & Chen 2005) Evapotranspiration (Kisi 2006) and infiltration estimation (Sy 2006)

4. Deltares Vegetation Induced Resistance (Keijer et al. 2005) Genetic programming identifies a more concise relationship between vegetation and resistance

5. 1DV model versus GP Equations of the 1DV model Equation derived from genetic programming

6. Imperial College of London Value of High Resolution Precipitation Data 1. Short Term Prediction of Urban Pluvial Floods (Maureen Coat 2010)  Objective: Interpolate available rain gauge data 2. Real-time Forecasting of Urban Pluvial Flooding (Angélica Anglés 2010)  Objective: Improved analysis of the existing rainfall data obtained by both rain gauges and radar networks. Physical meteorology Statistics based

7. Maureen Coat-Tipping Bucket Interpolation Inverse Distance Weight Liska’s Method Polygone of Thiessen Most Effective: Kriging

8. Teschl (2007) Feed forward neural network trained with reflectivity data at four altitudes above rain gauge Objective: Estimate precipitation at tipping bucket.
