Notice Title

Flood Hydrology Improvement Programme (FHIP), Project D5.2

Notice Description

The requirement for this project phase is to deliver a proof of concept that explores how uncertainty in river level, river flow, and rain gauge data can be quantified and communicated prior to its use in hydrological models. The long-term ambition is to develop methods applicable across the full hydrological range, however this phase anticipates focusing on high flows and rainfall only, aligning with FHIP funding availability and its flood-related objectives.
