Abstract

Flood forecasting (FF) is one of the most challenging problems in Hydraulic Engineering. It is also most important due to tremendous contribution in reducing economic and life losses that usually occurs during flooding. Major part of the FF system is hydrologic and hydraulic model that simulate runoff and corresponding water levels in rivers, based on the input data that are results from the meteorologic forecasting model. Major uncertainty of the FF systems that operates in real time usually stems from combined hydrologic-hydraulic model, apart from the large uncertainty that comes from the meteorological model. This uncertainty significantly rises when the catchments of interests are ungauged. In this paper, methodology of setting hydrological and hydraulic model that operates in real time FF and early warning system is presented. Case study are ungauged basins of Ukrina, Tinja and Brka, tributaries of Sava River.
