HYDROGEIOS
HYDROGEIOS is a
GIS-based application, suitable for complex hydrosystems, where natural
processes are significantly affected by human interventions. It integrates
a conjunctive (surface and groundwater) hydrological model, based
on a semi-distributed approach, within a systems-oriented management
scheme, to ensure a faithful representation of hydrological mechanisms
and, hence, a rational water management policy. It provides tools
for automatic parameter estimation, based on multiple error criteria
and a robust optimisation method, adapted for both single and multiobjective
calibrations.
The main modelling issuers are:
- Establishing a physically-based approach while
keeping a parsimonious structure, by conceptually relating the
hydrological responses
of a watershed with its geomorphological and physiographic characteristics.
- Taking
into account all available spatial and hydrological data.
- Understanding
the main physical mechanisms along a river network, and their
interactions under a specific hydroclimatic scenario
or management policy.
- Assessing the actual
surface and groundwater yield at various control sites.
