A Rainfall Runoff Forecasting System (RRFS) is developed as a toolkit for quantitative
and qualitative analysis of basinwide rainfall-runoff relationship. The RRFS consists of four different modules: 1) a real-time hydrologic input data preparation module, 2) a runoff
simulation and forecasting module for providing short-term water demand and supply over 10
days based on predicted meteorological data, 3) a runoff prediction module for establishing
long-term water supply plan in reservoir operation, and 4) a graphic visualization module for output display from the simulation and prediction results.
Calibration and verification were made by applying the system to the Geum river basin
which is the third largest river basin in Korea. Since the results of applying the system
showed fairly satisfactory performance in identifying the status of water resources in the basin and establishing the outlook of water supply, it is expected that the RRFS will serve as an efficient toolkit to provide the spatial and temporal runoff forecasting with water information in the Geum basin.
