3 Motivations and Objective In order to prevent flood disaster in a river basin, a flood warning system with real-time data collection system is required Installation and operation of fully-covered necessary rain gauge stations are not easy due to the budget and maintenance problem Radar rainfall estimates offer unique advantages - coverage over large areas - temporal updates as short as 10 minutes - high resolution in space MLTM installed rain radars to predict flood, so this study attempts to evaluate a hydrologic usefulness of the dual polarization radar rainfall estimation

21 Conclusions and Remarks We have examined the hydrological application of the MLTM s dual polarization radar rainfall estimation The dual polarization radar-driven driven mean areal precipitation show a little differences compared with gauge observed rainfall as range as 6.2~18.1% underestimation The coupled radar-streamflow simulation results were also underestimated like as radar rainfall, However, the hydrologic adjustment trial showed a positive possibility to forecast flood by using the radar rainfall in actual operation The case study in the small and upstream watershed, the radar-streamflow simulation results had good performance, it would be useful to predict a flash flood in mountain area and a urban flood
