%0 Journal Article %T The feasibility of daily, weekly and ten-day water-level forecasting in Colombia %J - %D 2010 %X This paper analyses the feasibility of forecasting daily, weekly and ten-day water-levels at 20 hydrological stations forming part of the monitoring network supporting the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies¡¯ (IDEAM) Alert Service in Colombia (www.ideam.gov.co). Such viability was determined by a set of orthogonal performance criteria and implementing optimally adaptive linear combinations (OALC) was recommended for this study as a viable operator for configuring a real-time hydrological forecast system. It is shown that the forecast for daily, weekly and ten-day levels had satisfactory viability for 70% of the cases studied %K hydrological forecasting %K mathematical modelling %K optimal linear adaptive combination %U https://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/ingeinv/article/view/15748
