AB  - Urban hydrological applications require high resolution precipitation and catchment information inorder to well represent the spatial variability, fast runoff processes and short response times ofurban catchments (Berne et al., 2004). Although fast progress has been made over the last fewdecades in high resolution measurement of rainfall at urban scales, including increasing use ofweather radars, recent studies suggest that the resolution of the currently available rainfallestimates (typically 1 x 1 km2in space and 5 min in time) may still be too coarse to meet thestringent requirements of urban hydrology (Gires et al., 2012). What is more, current evidence isstill insufficient to provide a concrete answer regarding the added value of higher resolution rainfallestimates and actual rainfall input resolution requirements for urban hydrological applications. Withthe aim of providing further evidence in this regard, a collaborative study was conducted whichinvestigated the impact of rainfall input resolutions on the outputs of the operational urban drainagemodels of four urban catchments in the UK and Belgium (Figure 1).
