Développement d’un modèle hydrologique sol et zone vadose afin d’évaluer l’impact des pollutions diffuses et des mesures d’atténuation sur la qualité des eaux en Région wallonne ; Development of a soil and vadose zone hydrological model to access impact of diffuses pollutions and mitigation measures on water quality in Walloon region

Implementation of new European directives in the environmental field and, specially, in the water field, generate a request from policy-makers for news tools able to evaluate impact of measures token in order to reduce pressures on ecosystems. In this context, the objective of this PhD thesis is to develop a “soil and vadose” hydrological model in order to evaluate impact of diffuses pollutions and mitigation measures on water quality in the Walloon region. The “soil and vadose zone” model of the Walloon region (EPICgrid model) has been developed at catchment scale with an original modular con... Mehr ...
