Assessment of Streamflow from EURO-CORDEX Regional Climate Simulations in Semi-Arid Catchments Using the SWAT Model

This research studies the effect of climate change on the hydrological behavior of two semi-arid basins. For this purpose, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was used with the simulation of two future climate change scenarios, one Representative Concentration Pathway moderate (RCP 4.5) and the other extreme (RCP 8.5). Three future periods were considered: close (2019–2040), medium (2041–2070), and distant (2071–2100). In addition, several climatic projections of the EURO-CORDEX model were selected, to which different bias correction methods were applied before incorporation into the SWAT model. The statistical indices for the monthly flow simulations showed a very good fit in the calibration and validation phases in the Upper Mula stream (NS = 0.79–0.87; PBIAS = −4.00–0.70%; RSR = 0.44–0.46) and the ephemeral Algeciras stream (NS = 0.78–0.82; PBIAS = −8.10–−8.20%; RSR = 0.4–0.42). Subsequently, the impact of climate change in both basins was evaluated by comparing future flows with those of the historical period. In the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios, by the end of the 2071–2100 period, the flows of the Upper Mula stream and the ephemeral Algeciras stream will have decreased by between 46.3% and 52.4% and between 46.6% and 55.8%, respectively.ERDF/Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities—State Research Agency/Project CGL2017-84625-C2-1-R (CCAMICEM)State Program for Research, Development and Innovation Focused on the Challenges of Societ

Coupling Spatial And Time Scales In The Hydrological Modelling Of Mediterranean Regions: WiMMed

Mediterranean catchments usually exhibit strong gradients of both weather variables at different time scales and soil uses, which add complexity to their hydrological modelling, especially in mountainous areas. WiMMed (Water integrated Management model for Mediterranean regions) model was designed to include such variability of scales in an operational suite capable of connecting GIS-based representations of the catchment (soil characteristics and uses, vegetation cover and snow dynamics) with advanced algorithms for simulating the energy and water balance on a physical basis. Widely used throughout the South of Spain, WiMMed efficiently represents the spatial patterns of precipitation, temperature, solar radiation, and evapotranspiration on an hourly basis, the daily evolution of the vegetation cover fraction, and the observed soil use changes over the study period, by means of specific interpolation algorithms and the inclusion of data derived from remote sensing. These high resolution data input to the physical equations of the energy and water balance performed on three series control volumes: canopy, snowpack, and soil, allow for the distributed characterization of water dynamics. Rainfall excess and infiltration and groundwater fluxes are routed towards selected control points along the fluvial network, where the corresponding baseflow, subsurface flow and direct runoff hydrographs that can be routed downstream by means of hydraulic or hydrological equations. WiMMed’s physical basis together with its high resolution multiscale scheme provides managers with an advanced support tool for flood/drought studies, natural regime restitution, short to long term water resource planning, evaluation of changes of soil use, etcetera. This work shows WiMMed capabilities from its use in selected watersheds throughout Andalusia (Spain) performed on the available free-distributed users’ interface designed for technicians and turnkey applications, some of which have been selected as examples

Evaluating Climate Change Scenarios For Regional Hydrological Management In Mountainous Semi-Arid Environments

Snow processes play a relevant role in semi-arid mountainous basins where snowmelt dynamics conditions the availability of water resources. In such environments, many rivers flow during the dry season due to the water storage in the snow cover while heavy rainfall events sporadically trigger severe flood events. These particularities confer to these areas special interest due to their high sensitivity in the hydrological response against changes in the meteorological conditions. This issue could be critical in many regions of the world linked to semi-arid mountain areas (e.g., the Atlas Mountains, Andean Cordillera,…) and presents a real challenge for future modifications of water management policies. This study highlights the utility of generating regionalized climate change scenarios in semi-arid environments to assess the most sensitive hydrological processes allowing us to predict future changes in water resources availability and hydrological responses. To do that, climate change scenarios from the ICCP were performed at the Guadalfeo River basin (southern Spain) where the fluvial dynamics is bound to the intermittent persistence of snow throughout the year. For this, statistically downscaled data from the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling Model (CGCM2) given by a previous study were used and the local topographic effect of precipitation and temperature were added. Besides, a physically-based model, calibrated and validated at the study site, was used to reproduce the seasonal changes in the forcing agents-discharge relationship and the availability of water resources. The results show a significant change in the rainfall-runoff relationship in autumn conditioned by the decrease of snowfall associated to the climate sceneries. This effect also involves an enhanced severity of the floods during this season. Furthermore, a loss of 40% of water resource availability is observed related to a decrease of 2/3 of the snow inputs within winter and spring

Meteomap: Generation Of Meteorological Variables For Distributed Physically-Based Hydrological Modeling

Distributed energy and water balance models require time-series surfaces of the meteorological variables involved in hydrological processes. Most of the hydrological GIS-based models apply simple interpolation techniques to extrapolate the point scale values registered at weather stations at a watershed scale. In mountainous areas, where the monitoring network ineffectively covers the complex terrain heterogeneity, simple geostatistical methods for spatial interpolation are not always representative enough, and algorithms that explicitly or implicitly account for the features creating strong local gradients in the meteorological variables must be applied. Originally developed as a meteorological pre-processing tool for a complete hydrological model (WiMMed), MeteoMap has become an independent software. The individual interpolation algorithms used to approximate the spatial distribution of each meteorological variable were carefully selected taking into account both, the specific variable being mapped, and the common lack of input data from Mediterranean mountainous areas. They include corrections with height for both rainfall and temperature (Herrero et al., 2007), and topographic corrections for solar radiation (Aguilar et al., 2010). MeteoMap is a GIS-based freeware upon registration. Input data include weather station records and topographic data and the output consists of tables and maps of the meteorological variables at hourly, daily, predefined rainfall event duration or annual scales. It offers its own pre and post-processing tools, including video outlook, map printing and the possibility of exporting the maps to images or ASCII ArcGIS formats. This study presents the friendly user interface of the software and shows some case studies with applications to hydrological modeling
