LISFLOOD hydrological model
policy support
policy role
The model is designed to support water policies and humanitarian aid, and can be used to support each phase of the policy cycle, from anticipation to evaluation.
The model is in use in the context of water policies, climate impact analysis and humanitarian aid:
- Water Policies: Water Resources Assessment Simulations, Flood and Drought simulations, Scenario simulations on the impact of climate change on water resources and its extremes (floods and droughts & water scarcity); Balancing water demand and supply studies within the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem nexus (BLUE2, Blueprint to safeguard Europe’s water resources)
- Humanitarian Aid: Flood Forecasting (EFAS, see https://www.efas.eu/, GloFas; see https://www.globalfloods.eu/, Drought (EDO, global drought, see https://edo.jrc.ec.europa.eu/edov2/php/index.php?id=1000 ) Water Policies: Water Resources Assessment
- Climate Impact Studies: The model has also been used in various climate change impact studies (PESETA I, II, III, IV, Blueprint to safeguard Europe’s water resources, BLUE2)
