Database for Large Rivers

Challenges

• Bring data to the model/analysis (which we do traditionally)? Or

vice versa (move to cloud/HPC)

• Translate large amounts of data into something useful

Drought Forecasting and Warning

Warning

DEWFORA │


A framework for the providing drought early warning and response • monitoring and vulnerability assessment, forecasting,

warning, response, and knowledge dissemination

Save Money and Reduce Time : New Zealand

SMART │2011-2017


The overall aim of the proposed research is to develop a suite of highly innovative methods for characterising New Zealand’s groundwater systems. Trans-disciplinary information needs have been determined by stakeholder consultation and include the measurement of: • groundwater volume and changes in it over time • aquifer hydraulic properties • fluxes of groundwater interchange with surface waters • water age

EartH2Observe: integrate earth observations from different

missions, in-situ data, and multiple global hydrological &

landsurface models to construct a Global Water Resources

Reanalysis (WRR) dataset of at least 30 years


eartH2Observe │2014-2018


adaptive delta planning

3 February 2015

SubCoast│


The objective of the GMES-downstream service. SubCoast will be to develop a service for monitoring the extent and impact of subsidence in coastal lowlands and demonstrate its capability in various pilots for a variety of settings around Europe.

So.. we provide a lot of EO Services for

water and coastal management……

Adopted from a Deltares presentation Copernicus Climate Projections Workshop | ECMWF

Townhall, Reading April 20-21, 2015

We claim we do it for water / coastal managers

What do water / coastal managers do?:

Deal with too much, too little, too dirty water…..how?

• Monitor their water system’ inform people what they can expect

on all kind of water issues + warn them for floods and droughts

• Develop and maintain an infrastructure that meet all the

requirements (WFD, EU-FD, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, International

agreements, design criteria of infrastructure)

• Discuss with policymakers the (interpretation / meaning /

consequences) of changes in these requirements

• Discuss with sectors dependent on the possible options to adapt

the system (Long term)

Actually they spend (very) limited time to what we provide

EO services for the long term and short term

planning

• EO services for the long term planning: typically for

serving the preparation of a water/coastal management

plan for a country / water management system

(frequency 5-10 yrs (?))

• EO services for the short term: typically for serving

flood/drought/quality warning (frequency daily-weekly)

• How this planning is organized (to what extend alien

parties are involved) varies a lot over countries; coastal

management somewhat easier than inland

Typical questions in the water planning phase

• Are the current standards still reasonable or should they be

changed

• What adaptation strategies do help to meet the standards

• Is implementation of the strategies technically

possible/feasible?

• What are the costs and benefits of developing adaptation

strategies?

• Can the strategies be implemented in the current political and

environmental conditions?.

• What are the political consequences and institutional

requirements for implementation of the strategies?

Summarizing: • Do measures do the job

• Is it technically possible to implement them,

• Can we pay them

It is our job to support them on this!

So.., in stead of looking for ecosystem,

climate, water, etc,…. services

Try to support them with decision

services
