Tasks in the AMICE project

WP1 : involved in all scientific works of WP1, including :

i) Contribution to the bibliography work especially concerning climate change simulations and future floods scenarios (ex. perturbation factors on peak discharges);

ii) coordination of Action Plan 6 on Hydraulic modelling;

iii) contribution to the methodology for the international run of hydraulic models on river Meuse;

iv) hydraulic simulations on river Meuse with the existing 2D flow model (model WOLF, HACH, ULg): extension of floods mapping along river Meuse, based on flow modelling for steady discharges accounting for climate change;

v) hydraulic simulations on river Meuse with an existing coupled 1D-2D flow model (model WOLF, HACH, ULg): unsteady flow simulations between Ampsin and Masseik of historic floods and synthetic hydrographs accounting for climate change;

vi) contributions to the evaluation of economic and social impacts;

vii) detailed evaluation of an existing measure in the Walloon region (operational rules of a large reservoir) based on spatially distributed and physically based hydrological modelling (model MOHICAN, Walloon Region) and 2D hydraulic modelling (model WOLF);

viii) detailed evaluation of a new measure in the Walloon region (e.g. enhanced operation rules of a large reservoir and effect of water retention in wetlands) based on spatially distributed and physically based hydrological modelling (model MOHICAN), and 2D hydraulic modelling (model WOLF), involving adaptation of database providing input for each component of the hydrologic cycle modelling

ix) contribution to the elaboration and analysis of the adaptation strategy;

x) contributions to the elaboration of scientific reports
