dc.description.abstract Radar reflectivity data and rain gauge data are broadly utilized in precipitation gauges for flood warning, water administration, in numerical climate forecast models, and for checking of extreme climate in common. The quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) of the radar take advantage of the relationship between radar reflectivity and precipitation watched. Data mining is a wide field and has numerous factors and methods in its problem-solving weapons store. Be that as it may, the need of surface precipitation information destinations makes the adjustment of temporal radar determination in 5’ or 10’ cannot be given in numerous nations particularly in Rwanda. Precipitation information in Rwanda are commonly accessible in every day aggregation so that it is troublesome to make connections between the reflectivity of radar and precipitation watched. The aim of this research is to urge methods obtaining of adjustment of hourly Quantitative precipitation estimation, convert dBZ to QPE, adjustments QPE functions, aggregate 6 minutes QPE to 1hr, aggregate Adjusted QPE to daily, aggregate QPE 1hr to daily, Plot Aggregated QPE for 1hr, plot QPE for Rwanda particularly for evaluating strongly precipitation pointing at flood warnings. This radar application is distant more requesting than the subjective utilize of radar, e.g. for just taking after and extrapolating echoes in time and space. The characteristics of the third generation of Rwanda Meteorology dual polametric weather radar are examined. This incorporates calibration, clutter end and the check methodology received for ideal profile redress., The profile rectification points to dispense with the impact of clutter concealment and protecting on the climate: i.e. permits to extrapolate from districts, where the radar can "see" precipitation to - ordinarily - lower districts where protecting disposes of genuine climate echoes and clutter produces extra, manufactured echoes. This research concludes by depicting many of the inclinations and downsides of the application of data mining methods and gadgets to Quantitative Precipitation Estimation, it takes note a few possible obstacles in its execution and at the end, it gives recommendations for future investigations in the application of data mining to empower choices related to Quantitative Precipitation Estimation. en_US
