Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Climate change will induce effects on precipitation and by so, on discharges and water levels, as the Meuse is a typical rain fed river. Precipitation will be more clustered with more and longer periods of precipitation in winter and more and longer periods of drought in summer. The changes in discharge regime are less pronounced due to increased evaporation and the natural storage capacity of the catchment, although different studies predict an increase in average discharge at the end of the winter and a decrease of average summer discharge. As the water in the Meuse is being used for agriculture, navigation, drinking water, energy production and industry, the Meuse has an economical value of hundreds million euros a year. To ensure these economic activities in the future, water hazard mitigation measures should include climate change. However, the existing projects in Flanders mainly focus on flood control and ecological development. To assess the impact of on the one hand climate change and on the other hand change in water management and river works, mathematical models are applied. Such models are also utilized in flood and low water forecasting. |
