AlterrAqua - Hydrological modelling and scenario analysis
The Benefits
In short- Workflow management for hydrology
- Scenario and model creation
- Data preprocessing and postprocessing
- GIS integration support
- Evaluates floods and water balance
Introduction
AlterrAqua supports water managers and researchers in modeling regional hydrology, offering scenario analysis and GIS integration to gain insight into floods, groundwater, and climate-related water challenges.
About AlterrAqua
About
In combination with a geographic information system, the AlterrAqua suite helps to acquire insight into processes occurring at a regional scale (1:10000 to 1:50000). The user can get answers to the following questions:
- How does the water system react to extreme events?
- Where do floods occur?
- How is the flood damage to agriculture distributed geographically?
- Where should we expect flood damage to agriculture after implementing particular technical measures?
- How does the groundwater fluctuate under normal, dry or wet climatic circumstances and where should we expect problems?
- How does the water balance react to expected climate change?
- Which measures are favourable for realising the right conditions for the desired land use forms?
- Up to which area does seepage reach into the polder?
- Where should we expect water shortages and / or reduced evapotranspiration?
- What is the geographic distribution of groundwater level classes?
In a number of respects, AlterrAqua assists the user in following the guidelines of Good Modelling Practice (STOWA/RIZA, 1999).
