| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the importance of accounting for spatial correlation in stochastically generated precipitation records used in water supply modeling studies. By means of a case study, it is shown that the failure to reproduce the spatial correlations among stochastic precipitation records in a large watershed leads to an under-estimation of the variance of basin-wide precipitation volumes and consequently an over-estimation of water supply reliability. This in turn can lead to under-estimation of the active storage requirements for proposed reservoirs and, ultimately, water supply infrastructure that fails to deliver the design water demands at the expected reliability level. A proposed improvement to one commonly used stochastic weather generator is presented and tested on a case study in Eritrea, East Africa. The results obtained using the modified stochastic model are presented and discussed. | |
