New Strategy and Application of Catchment Digital Twin

Convenors: Qiang Ma, XiaoXiang Zhang and Philippe Gourbesville

With the development of hydroinformatics technology, the new challenges and opportunities in the field of catchment digital twin has been widely discussed in many water societies and committees. Comparing with the classical approaches applied in watershed management, the add values of new strategies, methods and tools such as the AI and machine learning approaches applied for forecasting and early warning, the integrated distributed hydro-simulations applied for virtually representing the hydro-elements in the catchment, and the high performance computation technology applied for supporting the real-time decision-making process, will be all deeply discussed in this session.
