Climate change impacts on groundwater resources: modelled deficits in a chalky aquifer, Geer basin, Belgium ; Impact des changements climatiques sur les ressources en eau souterraine: modélisation des déficits dans un aquifère crayeux, bassin du Geer, Belgique

peer reviewed ; An integrated hydrological model (MOHISE) was developed in order to study the impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle in representative water basins in Belgium. This model considers most hydrological processes in a physically consistent way, more particularly groundwater flows which are modelled using a spatially distributed, finite-element approach. Thanks to this accurate numerical tool, after detailed calibration and validation, quantitative interpretations can be drawn from the groundwater model results. Considering IPCC climate change scenarios, the integrated a... Mehr ...
