Abstract
This paper describes some of the more recent work in the United Kingdom on the utilization of quantitative weather radar data in hydrological modelling. The historical background to weather radar developments is briefly discussed and several projects presently underway in the area of real-time flood forecasting and flood producing storm analysis are outlined.Keywords
