Modelling the Water and Nitrate Budget Using SWAT

PROLEGOMENA

The 9th World Congress of the European Water Resources Association is held in Istanbul (June 2015) following a unanimous decision of the General Assembly during the EWRA Conference in Porto (June 2013). This selection, among others, shows the firm determination of European scientists to spread the European principles and approaches in Water Resources Management to other countries of the world and, at the same time, to learn from the diverse experiences of scientists from a number of countries.

As known, 2015 is the benchmark year for the comprehensive evaluation on the progress of implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and its daughter directives. The European member states have completed the first phase of WFD implementation for fulfilling its environmental objectives using new criteria, innovative approaches and cutting edge methodologies.

As the title of the Congress indicates, “Water Resources Management in a Changing World: Challenges and Opportunities”, the main interest of the Congress lies on a “changing world” and the associated challenges and opportunities in the water sector and the environment.

From the presentations selected, I am sure that the Congress will be a benchmark scientific event, addressing a number of key issues in the area of water resources management. The presentations are organised in six Conferences with particular focus on hydrological processes and hazards, geo-information and water resources, the technological advances in water distribution, purification and desalination, water pollution and ecosystems conservancy, multicriteria sustainability of water systems, and social, political, institutional and legislative aspects.

Hundreds of scientists and engineers are gathered in Istanbul for this important international water event. Fruitful discussions are expected to advance existing knowledge on critical issues in water resources management and have significant impacts on the current practices worldwide.

On behalf of the Executive Committee of EWRA, I have to sincerely thank the Organising Committee for their excellent organisation, the Conveners of the Conferences and the Scientific Committee for their devoted reviewing process. Their work has led to the selection of high level presentations in the Congress. I wish also to deeply thank the Dokuz Eylul University (DEU), the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the Istanbul Technical University (ITU), for organising this international event, and all the authors and participants for their contributions.

I wish to all fruitful discussions and enjoyable stay in Istanbul.

George TsakirisPresident of the European Water Resources Association

PREFACE

Up-to-date, European Water Resources Association (EWRA) has organized 8 international conferences, focusing particularly on water resources management in a globally changing context of emerging risks, challenges and opportunities. The major theme of the 9th EWRA event is similarly “Water Resources Management in a Changing World: Challenges and Opportunities” but with some distinct perspectives that differentiate the meeting from past conferences.

First, the event is held in June 2015, the year which marks an important deadline in terms of EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) implementation. The planning cycle within WFD foresaw development of River Basin Management Plans by EU Member States between 2009 and 2015 so that 2015 is the year when a European overview and Member State specific assessments will be available. Thus, the 9th EWRA meeting provides a timely platform to assess the adoption of basin management plans at European level and to share these experiences between scientists and professionals both from the Member States and from other regions around the world facing similar challenges related to water resources management.

Second, the meeting is held in the transcontinental global city of Istanbul which constitutes a bridge between Europe and Asia through the famous Bosphorus, one of the world's busiest waterways. Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey, constituting the country's economic, cultural, and historical heart. With a population of 14.1 million, the city forms one of the largest urban agglomerations in Europe, second largest in the Middle East and the third-largest city in the world by population within city limits. Istanbul is a superb site for meetings conferences and conventions and has hosted big “water” events like the 5th World Water Forum in 2009 and International Istanbul Water Forums in 2009, 2011 and 2014. Thus, the nature of the selected location facilitated EWRA to expand the structure of its biannual conferences from an “International Conference” to a “World Congress”. Eventually, Istanbul Congress attracted high participation from the Asian countries and other continents in addition to European countries so that water problems and solutions are discussed at a global scale. Participants from 5 continents, including 49 countries, applied to take part in the Congress, meaning that the universal problems of water crisis and water-food-energy nexus are considered at a large extent.

Third, the 9th World Congress encompasses 6 different conferences, instead of a single conference, to cover a wide range of topics relevant to water resources and the environment. This significantly contributes to the multidisciplinary and global context of the Congress, and thereby the multidisciplinary and global nature of water problems, so that scientists from various disciplines and countries have interacted for more fruitful solutions. The conferences are as follows:

I. Hydrological Processes and Evolving HazardsII. Geo-information and Water ResourcesIII. Technological Advances in Water Distribution, Purification and DesalinationIV. Water Pollution and Eco-systems ConservancyV. Multicriteria Sustainability of Water SystemsVI. Social, Political, Institutional and Legislative Aspects

Each conference is run in parallel sessions, and the participants have chosen to attend that conference which directly related to their area of expertise and experiences. This has ensured the realization of more focused sessions, ending up in more effective discussions and solutions. Eventually, the Congress has become a prominent activity by bringing together participants’ experience, sharing their know-how and contributing to the international water community while enjoying the wonderful setting of Istanbul.

This book includes the abstracts of papers (keynotes, oral and poster papers) presented at the Congress, as well as the full papers collected in a CD of Proceedings. The abstracts and full papers are presented on the basis of six Conferences.

The editors would like to thank the President of EWRA and EWRA General Assembly at the 8th International Conference of EWRA in Porto for proposing and selecting Istanbul as the venue for the 9th World Congress. They would also like to express their deepest gratitude to the Conveners of the Conferences and the Scientific Committee for their valuable reviews of all papers. They also wish to thank the Dokuz Eylul University (DEU), DEU Water Resources Management Research and Application Center (SUMER), the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and the Istanbul Technical University (ITU), for organizing and supporting this Congress. Finally, our deepest thanks go to all the authors and participants for their valuable contributions.

STUDY AREA AND DATA

METHODS



In this study, SUFI-2 was used for calibration and uncertainty analysis.

The program was applied for a combined calibration and uncertainty analysis, and is

currently linked to SWAT in the calibration process of SWAT-CUP (SWAT Calibration Uncertainty

Procedures) and contains Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE), Parameter Solution

(ParaSol), Particle swarm optimization (PSO), and a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) algorithm.

In SUFI-2 parameter uncertainty represents all sources of uncertainties such as uncertainty

in the driving variables (e.g. rainfall), conceptual model, parameters, and measured data.

The SWAT model simulates

hydrology and water quality from

each field (HRUs) in the sub-

watershed, and then simulates

flow, sediment, chemicals, and

nutrient changes through the

stream network with simulated

values for all HRUs in each sub-

watershed.

In this regard, based on the

land use and soil classes, the

watershed was subdivided into 54

HRUs in this study.

The total rainfallin thestudy area was14.2 mm betweenMay and September for 2010hydrological year.

Sediment transport wasreducedto a minimum of 0.00ton/ha. as the surface runoffdecreased due to highevapotranspiration in summermonths.

Although rainfall as theprimary deriverof increasein ETand PET, irrigation has alsostrong effecton these parameters.




Average NO3 of 54 HRU'sfor the 2010 hydrological year was9.65 kg N/ha.

LargestNO3 value of 54.18kg N/ha was estimatedin Mürselsoil series at the wheat-cornrotation, while the smallestNO3

value of 0.90 kg N/ha wasestimatedin Gemisure soil seriesatcitrus and bare soil.




• Average 9.65kg N/ha• Minimum 0. 90kg N/ha (Gemisure soil seriesin Citrus and Bare soil)• Maximum 54.18kg N/ha (Mürsel soil seriesin Wheat-Corn rotation)

Average actualevapotranspiration (ET) was425.74mm.

The largest ET value of494.16 mm was estimated inMürsel soil seriesat wheat-cornrotation crop pattern, the smallestET value of 221.78 mm wasestimatedin Helvacı soil seriesatbare soil.




• Average425.74mm• Minimum 221.78mm (Helvacı soil seriesin Bare soil)• Maximum 494.16mm (Mürsel soil seriesin Wheat-Corn rotation)

The values of Nash-Sutcliffe (NS) and determination coefficientstatistics (R2) for discharge calibration was about R2=0.60 andNS=0.57.

Rainfall nitrate concentration measurements enabled us toevaluate SWAT simulation results, and then, model calibrationstudy was resulted in R2=0.59 and NS=0.34 for nitrate.

The main difficulty in modeling was originating from complexityof the nitrogen cycle in nature and the management parameters(planting, irrigation, fertilizer and harvest) of plants in the studyarea.

Most important modification in SWAT setup was theimplementation of irrigation module. One of the difficulties andlimitations within this study was the lack of data on the amountof irrigation water that is withdrawn from the channel.
