Description

Philadelphia Water Department (PWD, or Department), Office of Watersheds (OOW) is seeking qualified professionals to provide accurate spatial and temporal precipitation data to analyze the impact of rainfall and snowfall on combined and sanitary wastewater collection systems. Therefore the PWD desires to obtain accurate gauge-adjusted radar-rainfall data for the Greater Philadelphia region utilizing recent advances in weather radar and precipitation analysis techniques. The resulting precipitation data will be a combination of measured precipitation gauge data and weather radar data, geo referenced, gauge and bias corrected, and merged into a unified and consistent data set. The data set will provide a highly resolved estimate of the quantity, timing, and distribution of rainfall and snowfall over the entire project area. The data will be used for the purposes of hydrologic and hydraulic model calibration and the characterization of sewershed areas tributary to the PWD interceptor system in support of PWD operations, planning, regulatory compliance, and the Wet Weather Plan.
