The reliability of two simple on-line flood forecasting models is investigated. These are adaptive rainfall-runoff models of the semi-distributed type which incorporate the updating of flow forecasts at each time step, substantially through the correction of one parameter involved in the description of losses. The potential of each model is evaluated, examining the accuracy of the results obtained by its application to real events together with the variability in time, within each event, of the adaptive parameter. The performance of the aforementioned models in comparison with that of the adaptive unit hydrograph approach is also discussed

Abstract
The reliability of two simple on-line flood forecasting models is investigated. These are adaptive rainfall-runoff models of the semi-distributed type which incorporate the updating of flow forecasts at each time step, substantially through the correction of one parameter involved in the description of losses. The potential of each model is evaluated, examining the accuracy of the results obtained by its application to real events together with the variability in time, within each event, of the adaptive parameter. The performance of the aforementioned models in comparison with that of the adaptive unit hydrograph approach is also discussedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
