Using River Geometry for Rating Curve Computation
A step towards Remote River Rating
Conventional practices of rating curve computation fall short in many aspects. They are data-intensive and are notoriously inaccurate in high-flow regimes as a result of extrapolation of low-flow curve fitting. By making use of a simple commercial UAV, a physically-based rating curve is computed that is substantiated by a detailed representation of the section's geometry. Discharge data is still required for calibration of the roughness coefficient and determination of the stage at zero flow. The physically-based rating curve improves the accuracy of the rating curve in the high flows and allows for an easy separation between flow regimes.
