Low-flows statistical analysis for Wallonia

Maïté FOURNIER (EPAMA) | Sélection des scénarios hydrologiques communs

The floods have always been the main concern resulting of extreme weather conditions. Now droughts and low flows are more and more recognized as risk situations due to the huge consequences of water shortage. Furthermore, the changing climate context constitutes a new threat even if the uncertainty in low-flows evolution remains high.
A work must consequently be executed on the low-flow occurrence probability. In Wallonia, a knowledge gap remains on statistical analysis of low-flows. The University of Liège, Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech had for goal to compensate the lack of knowledge on statistical low-flow data in Wallonia.
