Delft-FEWS Basic Configuration Course – North American Deltares Software Days 2019, Baton Rouge

Delft-FEWS is an open data handling platform, initially developed as a hydrological forecasting and warning system. Essentially, it is a sophisticated collection of modules designed for building a forecasting, Evaluation and Early Warning System. Because of its unique characteristics concerning data importing, processing and model connections, Delft-FEWS has also been applied in a wide range of different operational situations. Examples are water quality forecasting, reservoir management, operational sewer management optimization, and water information systems.

This Delft-FEWS Configuration course will provide an introduction into setting up a FEWS system. The following topics will be addressed: configuration basics, importing and processing data, general adapter and model adapter concept, post-processing and visualization, and exporting and reporting data. Most elements will be accompanied with hands-on exercises.
A brief demonstration and explanation of a Delft-FEWS ‘live system’ is also part of this course.
