Review of Extended Hydrological Prediction (EHP) and Framework of EHP for Tehri Dam, India
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2020: Groundwater, Sustainability, Hydro-Climate/Climate Change, and Environmental Engineering
ABSTRACT
Extended hydrological prediction (EHP) is the prediction of hydrological variables for a period of time that exceeds the short-term forecasts. Extended forecasts help in supporting the optimal management of water resource and energy planning. Recent advances have pushed the limits of predictability of discharge and other hydrological variables from a few hours to several days or even months. Reliability of forecasts has increased in the recent years due to the integration of meteorological and hydrological modelling capabilities, improvements in data collection through satellite observations, and advancements in knowledge and algorithms for analysis and communication of uncertainties. The present paper reviews different aspects of extended hydrological prediction, including the models and different climate indices, emerging techniques of collecting inputs and displaying results, uncertainties, and warnings. A framework has also been developed for the understanding and development of EHP for Tehri Dam system. In the end, future directions for research and development are identified and presented.
