River basin digital twin: A tool for modelling adaptation measures for water retention in a landscape affected by climate change

, , , , , and –

River basin digital twin technology is an advanced tool for assessing the effects of complex adaptation measures on the water balance in the context of ongoing climate change. The integrated, fully distributed, physically based MIKE SHE modelling system forms the basis of the digital twin developed for detailed simulation of the hydrological cycle. Using the Dyje River basin and the pilot upper Svratka catchment as case studies, specific measures to promote natural infiltration and enhance baseflow were tested, designed and quantified. The effects of climate change were assessed using an ensemble of 26 independent climate scenarios based on global climate models (CMIP6) for a 30-year period centred on 2050, compared with the historical reference period 1981–2010.

Baseflow evolution from the part of Bohemian-Moravian Highlands

–

This article is focused on evolution of baseflow from part of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. This is a topical issue and, given the current situation, is also often discussed. The problem of groundwater and its recharge is an important (not only) hydrogeological problem, as climatic conditions in recent years, especially low precipitation, have a negative impact on groundwater recharge.
