There is a growing interest in using radar rainfall data to evaluate the performance of urban drainage systems in near real time. This paper describes a study based on a large (55 km2) urban catchment in northern Italy. Different spatial resolutions of radar data have been compared and used as input to a numerical hydrological-hydraulic model of the drainage system, constructed by means of Infoworks CS software. The results show that the spatial resolution of weather radar data plays a significant role when modelling the hydrological behaviour of the drainage system and using different resolutions may result in significant differences in peak flows and runoff volumes.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in using radar rainfall data to evaluate the performance of urban drainage systems in near real time. This paper describes a study based on a large (55 km2) urban catchment in northern Italy. Different spatial resolutions of radar data have been compared and used as input to a numerical hydrological-hydraulic model of the drainage system, constructed by means of Infoworks CS software. The results show that the spatial resolution of weather radar data plays a significant role when modelling the hydrological behaviour of the drainage system and using different resolutions may result in significant differences in peak flows and runoff volumes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
