Study Present Measurement Strategies And The Application Of The SWAT Model For Its Suitability To The European Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD) Within A Large-Scale Catchment In Germany
نویسنده
چکیده
The Gera basin is located in the Thuringian middle mountain range area of Germany. Physiographic and climatic factors, such as topography, landuse and soils as well as precipitation varying strongly. They are resulting in a highly complex of variable water and nutrients turnover processes. One of the main water quality problems occuring in the Gera basin is related to nutrients. Therefore the main goal of this pilot study was to assess the suitability of the available data bases for achieving the goals of the EU-WFD in case of nitrogen. The study was applied for the Gera catchment by (i) Evaluation of the feasibility of the present data related monitoring system for providing spatial informations on the detecting of local water quality areas and their relation to sources of pollution;

Development and application of the modelling system J2000-S for the EU-water framework directive
The scientific sound definition of measures to achieve the goals of the EU water framework directive (WFD) acquires spatially distributed analyses of the water and substance dynamics in mesoto macro-scale catchments. For this purpose, modelling tools or systems are needed which are robust and fast enough to be applied on such scales, but which are also able to simulate the impact of changes on ...

Integrated assessment of the watershed is critical in arid and semi-arid areas due to the severe water stress in these regions. Data and information are an essential part of decision making and water governance to obtain integrated water resources management at the watershed scale. Water accounting is a helpful tool to organize information and present them as the standard indicators to achieve ...

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) is the core legislative instrument in the European Union for the protection of water resources. Adopted in 2000, its objectives were to achieve “good status” for water bodies by 2015 and prevent any further deterioration. However, the European Commission and some stakeholders are rather dissatisfied with the implementation of the Directive so far, in particul...

In the last decades, climate change and fluctuation of water balance have been the main reason to apply hydrologic models for estimating quality and quantity of water components as efficient tools in water planning of critical conditions. In addition, these hydrologic models with potential to study the effects of watershed management practices on the runoff components are suitable tools for opt...
