IntroductionThe Delft-FEWS configuration guide provides the advanced user of DELFT-FEWS with the information required to set-up and maintain a configuration of Delft-FEWS. The objective of the guide is to be used both as a reference manual during the development and maintenance of an implementation of Delft-FEWS, as well as to provide some of the background philosophy on how to go about setting up a forecasting system. It is expected that the reader of this guide has a basic understanding of Delft-FEWS and its structure. To understand how to configure Delft-FEWS, a good understanding of the structure of the configuration is required, see the following table: topic example | 1Topics |
