Abstract |
Hydrological models with WETSPA are developed for the sub catchments included in the water balance model (including the Meuse basin). To assess the water availability and the flow behavior, each catchment was calibrated manually to find an optimal parameter set. The optimization during calibration is performed based on an automatic procedure followed by a visual control. During the optimization routine the parameters set is selected based on 2 criteria: (1) absolute error on cumulated total flow at each time step, and (2) logarithmic Nash-Sutcliff efficiency. The first criterion aims to model the global flow pattern, the latter focuses mainly on the low flows. In general the simulation of the hydrology of the Scheldt and the Meuse basin gives from reasonable to fairly good results and by consequence the developed hydrological models could be used to predict the future water availability under climate change. |
