WBalMo
Water Balance Model
|
Model Description: |
|
| WBalMo calculates the water balance between natural discharges and |
Model structure |
| water use in large river basins. As natural discharges at each site is used a |
Developer |
| large number of stochastic realizations, of length of the planning period and |

| based either on measured, but cleaned from water use discharge data or on |

| output from rainfall-runoff-models, using stochastic meteorological data. |
Model results |
| Water use processes include withdrawals and releases, transfers or |
|
| management of reservoirs. By variant calculations an optimization of the management rules can be done. Besides a variety of standard model objects freely programmable routines can be used to incorporate any kind of submodels, like demand or assessment functions. |

Input Data:
Static data: structure of river network (sub catchments, calculation profiles) capacity and management rules of reservoirs/transfers. Dynamic data: amount of withdrawals or releases, minimum required discharges, realizations of discharges at multiple sites and of meteorological data, required for water balance. Parameter of user-defined sub models.
Results:
Statistical values of any kind of system variables like discharges, storage of reservoirs, amount of transferred water, realized withdrawals and releases.
Resolution:
No restriction on spatial resolution. Time step is one month, but in special cases (flood, water quality sub models) can be used daily time step.
Operating system:
Windows
Programming language:
Fortran, C++, Avenue
Model run time:
2.5 hours for the whole Elbe river basin and 100 realizations each by 50 years.h
