Water Resources Modelling at the River Basin Scale (tutorial, acepted for presentation at:)
IASTED/SMO 2005, Oranjestad, Aruba, August 2005.
Tutorial: Water Resources Modeling at the River Basin Scale
| Expected duration: |
half-day (4 hours with possible extension to full day
if hands-on sessions are technically feasible.)
| | Audience: |
professionals or modelers in the water resources domain
|
The tutorial will introduce, discuss in detail, and demonstrate with live examples
from ongoing EU sponsored INCO projects (SMART, OPTIMA)
a Water Resources Model System.
Emphasis will be on the modeling process at the river basin scale and the integration
of several models into one consistent system.
Component models are:
- A dynamic rainfall-runoff model with automatic calibration (sub-catchment scale)
- An irrigation water demand model
- A dynamic water resources model (basin scale, river network)
- A dynamic water quality model for DO/BOD and conservative or first order decaying pollutants, post-processing the results from the water resources model.
Topics addressed:
- Water Resources Problems and information requirements
- River basin scale (EU Directive 2000/60/EC)
- A topological model: nodes and reaches
- Object oriented data representation
- Inputs (start nodes):
- Tributaries, wells, inter basin transfer, desalination, water harvesting
- Sub-catchment rainfall runoff model
- Automatic model calibration
- Demand nodes:
- Irrigation water demand model
- Reservoirs
- Groundwater coupling (conjunctive use)
- System performance criteria (supply/demand, reliability)
- Optimization approaches, decision support
- Water quality modeling
- Implementation: web based client-server
