Wetland and lakes management |

 |
Detailed studies of wetland and lakes require a unique integrated hydrological approach. Feasibility studies of alternative protection measures require analysis based on multiple criteria. IWM would offer broad and integrated service as well as models to be used for optimisation of wetland management taking into account water balance, retention of pollutant and biodiversity/nature conservation by applying fully distributed analytical tools; outputs would include:
- Optimised operation rules
- Interaction between groundwater and the surface water bodies (i.e. drawdowns caused by groundwater withdrawals),
- Land erosion due to water logging and waves mitigated,
- Effects of land use changes on runoff patterns (e.g. deforestation)
- Soil – water processes analysed.
- By mapping flood extent and performing a statistical evaluation of flood duration, flood frequency, flood depth, groundwater table, and root zone water content the environmental and ecological impacts are assessed.
