With the aim of tackling the multifaceted socio-ecological interactions of complex water systems, the methodology used in this study consists in a novel integration into a common platform of an economic optimization model and a hydrology model WEAP (Water Evaluation And Planning system).
Modelling hydrology and sediment yield and its scale dependency has been limited by the quantity and quality of instrumental data.
Reactive transport modeling of site geochemistry and hydrology is a highly useful for the design of effective MMV plans for carbon storage.
We conclude that IR heaters can provide alterations to the timing and magnitude of snow accumulation and snowmelt consistent with conditions observed at a warmer analog site and with climate and hydrology model projections.
A proposed upstream and existing downstream water retention system in southern Manitoba were modelled using a system dynamics model with streamflow inputs provided by a physical hydrologic model, Modélisation Environmentale Communautaire - Surface and Hydrology (MESH).
The results suggest potential value in improving on the current versions of RCM and HMS for regional climate and hydrology system modeling.
The model links surface land management and hydrology at the paddock scale (daily time step growth and water use, crop rotations and management) with a fully distributed groundwater model enabling the assessment of agronomic versus engineering options for landscape asset protection.
To overcome this issue, we developed an integrated model implementation coupler that aims to drive SWAT and DayCent the two representative models in hydrology and biogeochemistry, respectively—just using a user's SWAT project without the need of any extra efforts such as developing a framework or preparing input data for DayCent modeling.
The simulation model is the distributed physically-based hydrological model CATHY (CATchment HYdrology) and the study site is the Des Anglais watershed, a 690 km2 river basin located in southern Quebec, Canada.
Most studies of how land use change influences climate and hydrology rely on models (e.g., Piao et al. 2007; Unger 2014; Garcia et al. 2016; Mahowald et al. 2017).
