Sustainable URban Flood management (SURF)
The SURF project with its research partners Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the City of Oslo Agency for Water and Wastewater services, intends to increase knowledge and to build expertise and competence in urban hydrology in and for relevant Norwegian institutions and municipalities.
SURF will study urban hydrological processes, their response times, extreme values and their trends and networks of flow paths as functions of urbanisation. From weather radars and point observations, we produce time series of precipitation of high temporal and spatial resolution.
