Area of Science:

  • Hydrology and Water Resources Management
  • Environmental Modeling
  • Applied Mathematics

Background:

  • Effective real-time water quantity management is crucial for complex water resource systems.
  • Existing models lacked integrated, catchment-scale capabilities for quantitative water management.
  • The River Ruhr watershed in Germany presents challenges due to its complex, anthropogenically impacted nature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a generally applicable mathematical model system for integrated, catchment-scale quantitative water management.
  • To adapt and validate this model system for the specific conditions of the River Ruhr watershed.
  • To assess the model's utility as a tool for operational water quantity management.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel, generally applicable mathematical model system for water quantity management.
