Atmosphere situations for hydrological and ecological effect thinks about in Belgium Patrick Willems K.U.Leuven - Hydraulics Division

Recent and on-going environmental change related research ventures PhD specialists in italic Belgium: Federal Science Policy: environmental change impacts on hydrological extremes in Belgium ( Victor Ntegeka ) Flemish Government of Belgium – WL: impacts on stream high and low streams ( Thomas Vansteenkiste ) Environment Agency (VMM): Impacts on surges (EU Flood Directive execution) Update of urban seepage plan rules MIRA-S: survey of environmental change impacts on water administration INBO: atmosphere situations for effect examination on nature Federal Science Policy: environmental change impacts on waterway water quality ( Liliana Pagliero ) Nile Basin : affect on high and low stream extremes ( Paul Ogiramoi Nyeko, Sara Girma Mille, Meron Teferi ) Tarim bowl China : affect on hydrology ( Tie Liu ) Paute bowl Ecuador : affect on hydrology ( Diego Mora )

Selected approach for hydrological affect investigation of environmental change Hydrological/natural effect display Historical today arrangement Climate change Historical effect arrangement environmental change + bother situation Hydrological framework Climate framework

Downscaling of atmosphere model reenactment comes about Large Scale General Circulation Models (GCMs) 150 – 300 km; regularly – month to month Dynamical downscaling Regional Climate Models (RCMs) ± 50 km ; week after week - every day ± 25 km ; day by day Statistical downscaling waterway subcatchment scale, point scale waterway catchment: hourly; urban waste frameworks: 10 min Hydrological scale

Statistical downscaling GCMs 300 km RCMs 50 km RCMs 25 km 3 sorts of techniques considered and progressed: Quantile-irritation based strategies (SD-A) Weather writing based strategies (SD-B) Combined strategies (SD-C) Large scale "predictants" Local scale "indicators" Rainfall-spillover demonstrate Hydrological framework Climate framework

GCM-RCM keeps running for Belgium reproductions of IPCC nursery gas emanation situations by 2100: European PRUDENCE extend: 10 RCMs, 31 recreations (A2,B2) IPCC AR4: 21 GCMs, 27 reenactments (A2, A1B, B1) DMI 25 km

Quantile annoyance variables RCM Probability appropriation/IDF 30 years day by day arrangement today = control run (1961 – 1990) Comparison quantiles Probability dissemination/IDF 30 years day by day arrangement situation = situation run (2071 – 2100)

Rainfall IDF-relations 10 min Uccle arrangement: Return period: 100 years 10 years 1 year 1 month

Change in IDF-relations Daily precipitation comes about, 17 ECHAM5 runs:

Change in IDF-relations SD-A-5, 17 ECHAM5 runs:

µ % change in precipitation, temperature and ETo by 2100 Dependent on: Time scale (hour, day, week, month, season) Return period/recurrence (incl. extraordinary precipitation) Region (15% higher at Belgian drift) Accounting for instabilities in atmosphere show results and future nursery gas outflows (31 RCM runs A2/B2; 27 GCM runs A2/A1B/B1) : abridged in High, Mean and Low situations Rainfall extremes % precipitation change Return period Belgian drift

Climate change situations: bother figures on precipitation and ETo quantiles High situation Mean situation Low situation Example: Perturbation variables for day by day winter precipitation extremes:

CCI-HYDR high, mean and low environmental change situations High/Wet IMPACT Floods Mean/Mild Low/Dry Low streams CCI-HYDR Perturbation Tool:

Selected approach for hydrological affect examination of environmental change Hydrological/ecological effect demonstrate Historical today arrangement Climate change Historical effect arrangement environmental change + irritation situation Hydrological framework Climate framework

River high stream affect comes about Regional contrasts hourly spillover tops: Change in surge dangers is exceedingly dubious Runoff tops because of precipitation/ETo change diminish in low situation and increment in high situation (up to 35%) Major impact because of ocean level ascent (Scheldt tidal waterway)

River low stream affect comes about Regional contrasts low stream extremes: Low stream dangers increment essentially in all situations May expand issues rel. water quality, route, drinking water creation, ...

Spatial surge delineate results Flood mapping (before environmental change): T = 100 year Current atmosphere

Spatial surge outline comes about Flood mapping (after environmental change till 2100): T = 100 year High situation

River water quality effect comes about Physico-synthetic water quality procedures considered:

Research challenges High vulnerabilities in atmosphere situations: How to ascertain? How to impart to end clients? How to fuse in effect examinations? The most effective method to farthest point number of required effect recreations (situations, physical consistency between precipitation, temperature, ETo, ...)? Constrained precision of RCM results for precipitation (extremes) Direct utilization of precipitation RCM comes about versus climate writing based downscaling techniques? Factual downscaling to 10min and point scales: Several techniques and suspicions: group approach on various downscaling strategies to be suggested?
