Advancements in Watershed Modeling: Hydrologic/WQ Processes and Management Implementations on Regulatory Science

Session ID#: 156491

Session Description:
Environmental restoration goals have been conducted by using watershed models with alternative conservation management plans in the past few decades. Watershed models and the associated tools have been continuously improving along with availability of new data to alleviate the increasing environmental concerns and the potential impacts to human society around the world (e.g., Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) in the Great Lakes Region (USA/Canada), soil erosion problems in Loess Plateau (Northern China), and scarcity of water resources in Africa). On the other hand, it is almost impossible to solve challenging tasks without considering cross-surface, cross-scale, or cross-spatial interactions, especially under the threat of global climate change along with local/international regulations/agencies/authorities. Compromises are made not only during the modeling processes, but the corresponding food production and energy consumption should be considered cooperatively. Therefore, an integrated modeling framework may be required by coupling models/modules into a unified platform (e.g., water-food-energy nexus), or by adding supplementary constraints. Since 2016, this modeling session has been initiated to provide broad discussions among international scientists from different disciplines. We hope mutual efforts in this session can advocate advanced insights for future investigation on both modeling development and the associated management strategies.
