Advances in Reservoir Representation in Hydrological and Earth System Models
Session ID#: 79471
Session Description:
Globally, a total estimated water volume of 8,300 km3 is kept in artificial and natural impoundments. This is about four times the average water storage in global river channels and about one-fifth of the global annual river discharge. Impoundments present significant changes to local- and large-scale hydrological and atmospheric processes. Especially, the impacts have been observed in riverine systems, land-atmosphere interactions, biogeochemical reactions, and ecological processes modification. Although the representation of reservoirs in hydrological and earth system models has evolved from no consideration to physically-based models, there is still a lack in capability of hydrological and earth system models to integrate reservoirs in a realistic multi-scale, and online coupled manner. This session will explore: advances and efforts made to represent reservoir processes in detail in hydrological and earth system models, performance and uncertainties associated with existing integrated reservoir models, and remote-sensing and site-based data management for reservoir management and monitoring
