eWaterCycle: Overcoming the challenge of locality using a Community Multi-Model Environment

An accurate global hydrological model will enable us to predict droughts, floods, navigation hazards, and reservoir operations. Creation and dissemination of such information to the global community would have tremendous societal value. In addition, such a model will allow determination of anthropogenic and climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle.

The eWaterCycle II project builds on results of the eWaterCycle project by taking on the scientific challenge of extreme spatial variability in hydrology.

What will eWaterCycle do?

The eWaterCycle II project will build and maintain an e-Infrastructure that allows for quick and safe inclusion of sub-models and model concepts into global hydrological models, leading to a better understanding of the Hydrological cycle. The foreseen e-infrastructure will have a number of unique advantages, including an ability for knowledge gap discovery, machine-assisted model curation, and easily changeable model parts.
