Research Unit Leader:
Hydrological balance models are developed, tested and applied at various spatio-temporal scales (from vertical fluxes into the soil to lateral fluxes at catchment scale) in order to quantify the impacts on water resources, their competitive uses, and their inter- and intra-annual variability, including extreme events like droughts.
Tools of different complexity (from analytical models to numerical simulations) are integrated to produce synthesis information through quantitative indicators or qualitative indexes, and then promote their dissemination and use by stakeholders, for a robust support of water resources’ management and protection.
Cooperation is expected with the REMHI and RAAS Divisions.
