INTEGRATING SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE WATER RESOURCES IN CATCHMENT MODELING TO SUPPORT DECISION-MAKING AT POLICY-RELEVANT TIMESCALES
Planning, management, and conservation policy-making in the water sector call for a holistic approach to catchment modelling, taking into account all system components and the different interactions between surface and subsurface fluxes. However, developments in this direction are still limited. Here we aim to develop an innovative and integrated river basin modelling framework to support sustainable and efficient decision-making in the water management sector. Our approach will be based on three pillars: 1) surface and subsurface water, often treated as independent sources, will be approached from an integrated perspective, emphasizing their interactions at different scales (e.g., hyporheic dynamics) and their impact on water quality and quantity; 2) we will assess the system’s resilience to climate change at policy-relevant timescales (4 to 10 years, using cutting-edge decadal predictions), instead of the most common short timescales or long-term projections that current solutions generally target, to better identify cost-effective measures; and 3) stakeholders will join the co-development of the modelling framework to maximise its final useability and impact. The model-based decision-support system derived from this research will be a turning point in the way decisions in the water sector are made.
