Investigating regionalization techniques for large-scale hydrological modelling.

This work investigates regionalization techniques for large-scale model applications in the frame of a pan-European assessment of water resources covering approx. 740,000 km in Western Europe. Using the SWAT platform, four variants of the similarity based regionalization approach were compared.

Large-scale hydrological simulations using the soil water assessment tool, protocol development, and application in the danube basin.

The Water Framework Directive of the European Union requires member states to achieve good ecological status of all water bodies. A harmonized pan-European assessment of water resources availability and quality, as affected by various management options, is necessary for a successful implementation of European environmental legislation. In this context, we developed a methodology to predict surface water flow at the pan-European scale using available datasets.

Simple model of dissolved oxygen consumption in a bay within high organic loading: an applied remediation tool.

San Vicente Bay is a coastal shallow embayment in Central Chile with multiple uses, one of which is receiving wastewater from industrial fisheries, steel mill effluents, and domestic sewage. A simulation model was developed and applied to dissolved oxygen consumption by organic residues released into this embayment. Three compartments were established as function of: depth, circulation and outfall location.
