BWMA Models and Tools Analysis - Advantages / disadvantages of the model

 

Advantages / disadvantages of the approach

• The model can easily adapted to other catchments in the EU but the requirement of data is large.

• The derived data and visualisations related to inundation areas are important information to be used for other purposes, e. g. for the EU WFD and localisation of protected areas (wetlands) under CC

• Transferability of models and approaches

• The approach and the model (Modelling of CC Impact / Benefit-Analyses and participation of stakeholders) contribute to improve future decision processes also in other fields under CC

• The weights of parts of the tools seems also be related to culture aspects - as there is for instant how many data will be derived ( to lower the uncertainty) before a decision for precaution measures will be made (This means how to deal with uncertainty belong not only to the subject also to the cultural aspects)

Achieved goals

• Simulate the real word in the field of flood events and droughts caused by climate change impact.

• Support the adaptation of guidelines on all legislation levels.

• Serve the planners with information how to adapt

• Raise awareness for Climate Impact

• Support the communication process with stakeholders

• Improve the precaution and lower the costs of damages
