Zusammenfassung |
According to available climate change scenarios for Belgium, drier summers
and wetter winters are expected. In this study, we focus on two multi-purpose
reservoirs located in the Vesdre catchment, which is part of the Meuse
basin. The current operation rules of the reservoirs are first analysed.
Next, the impacts of two climate change scenarios are assessed and enhanced
operation rules are proposed to mitigate these impacts. For this purpose, an
integrated model of the catchment was used. It includes a hydrological
model, one-dimensional and two-dimensional hydraulic models of the river and
its main tributaries, a model of the reservoir system and a flood damage
model. Five performance indicators of the reservoir system have been
defined, reflecting its ability to provide sufficient drinking water, to
control floods, to produce hydropower and to reduce low-flow conditions. As
shown by the results, enhanced operation rules may improve the drinking
water potential and the low-flow augmentation while the existing operation
rules are efficient for flood control and for hydropower production. |
