Abstract

Distributed hydrological model(DHM) has been the key research currently in hydrology integrated with digital elevation model(DEM), geographic information system(GIS) and Remote Sensing(RS). Besides these technologies, this paper proposes a hydrological model by integrating cellular automata (CA) and Doppler radar. CA are a kind of bottom-up approaches and can be used to simulate complex hydrological processes. Doppler radar has provided a key input about the precipitation with high resolution to the river discharge simulation. The proposed model has been applied to the Huang Longdai basin in Guangdong with satisfactory results.
