Model-based tools to support practical water management? (Some) Lessons learnt from Harmoni-CA Ilke Borowski, Prof. Claudia Pahl-Wostl (Harmoni-CA/WP5) Harmonised Modelling Tools for HARMONI-CA IRBM • European Concerted Action 2007) (Oct. 2002-Sept. • Improve harmonisation of ICT-tools for the WFD implementation. • Establishing a forum for communication – Networking among projects – Exchange between water managers & tool developers – Exchange between monitoring/ modelling CatchMod Cluster HarmoniCA Interaction & communication Planning process (e.g. WFD) Information: Data & Modelling TRP RiB TQS CLI TRP Problem definition Solution CoP Calibration TQS CLI TRP Implementation Data system IT building IT QuABMW RiB Transfer Euroh TQS CLI TRP TQS CLI TRP TQS CLI TRP Quality assurance BMW of building RiB QuA TQS Selection blocks CLI Euroh CoP Start QuA TQS CLI TRP Adaptation IT CoP: HarmoniCoP; IT: HarmonIT; RiB: HarmoniRiB; Euroh: Euroharp; QuA: HarmoniQuA; CLI: Clime; TRP: Tizsa River Project; TQS: TempQSim; BMW: Benchmarking in WaterModelling; WISE-RTD web-portal www.wise-rtd.info •brings together expertise from ongoing projects on RBM •elaborates, harmonises and makes expertise available for practitioners Options for Interaction •to generate a dialogue between scientists and policy makers • 3 conferences, 12 workshops, river basin meetings... Interactive, ► . on: focused workshops for policy makers and model developers! -Use of tools in participatory RBM -Tools for interaction of CAP & WFD -Using Economic Methods and Models for the Implementation of the WFD: 14/15th June 07, Berlin Guiding Documents & Reviews 1. Guiding document on Uncertainty Analysis 2. Economic Methods and Models for the implementation of the WFD 3. Data availability and accessibility: State of the art on existing data required for modelling for research purposes and for the implementation of the WFD 4. Decision Support Systems for water resources management: current state and guidelines for tool development 5. Good practice in joint use of monitoring and modelling 6. End user involvement in research projects - a phone survey based assessment of 12 research projects 7. Guiding document on integration of the human dimension in model supported water management 8. Sensitivity analysis 9. Calibration 10.Model-based tools with regard to the interaction of water management and agriculture Some lessons learnt... • Model-based tools are used in water management, but... they are in general developed and maintained by consultancies • Transfer from research to management application has been facilitated but there are still some challenges.... 1) Structural Differences Researchers Water Managers Timelines: project duration/ funding cycles deadlines of e.g. WFD or other management tasks interest to improve research methodology Interest to assess specific measures/ cost benefits Full sectoral integration specific integration according to current tasks 2) Differences in Attitude Researchers Water Managers Model-based tools as THE tool to support IRBM multitude of information sources for IRBM More involvement during development of models strong time/resources constraints Interest in tool development interest in long-term application Improved uncertainty analysis improved scientific data base Options for improvement • Earlier interaction of water managers and researchers (e.g. during project development) • More training of model developers on management processes • Model development processes as social learning processes about IRBM • Expanding funding for – after development maintenance and application in (different) basins – proposal development • Linking up different funding programms (e.g. Research, LIFE, InterReg) www.harmoni-ca.info www.wise-rtd.info (22nd March) 4th Harmoni-CA Forum & Conference: 25th Sept 07 Workshop presenting projects results 26/27th Sept 07 Thank you!
