Two important technological advances in the United States,                      one, the effective coverage of the nation by the digitized                      topographic maps to resolutions of 30 meter by 30 meter pixels                  can be used now to develop real time flood forecasting                          methods.  The project will develop such a model with the goal                   of obtaining parsimonious parametrization of models by using as                 much data as possible.  Precipitation prediction will be based                  on a continuous formulation, in time and space, of the                          development of rainfall.  Raingage and radar data will be used                  conjunctively to update model states via a distributed filtering                algorithm.  The rainfall-runoff model proposed is based on the                  distributed knowledge of the geomorphology and the hydrologic                   response will be suggested and this concept will be tested in                   the field by making use of radar facilities and river basins                    within the laboratory's range.
