4different phases to distinguish
5the position of the tempQsim project
water quality models(i) no consideration of
nutrient transformation in dry periods at
bottom (e.g. ATHYS-POL, RWQM1) (ii) limited
consideration of first flush evects
Supporting the EU Water Framework Directive in
Mediterranean catchments
tempQsim
synthesis of experience
hydrological modules for improved runoff
calculation, drying processes, GW-interaction
improved consideration of hyporehic habitat
dyna-mics and their interactions to aquatic
habitats
sediment modules for transformation, accumulation
and resuspension of organic matter /nutrients
during dry and wet periods
catchment models for semiarid regions special.
in runoff/ erosion no consideration of water
quality dynamics (e.g.Medrush, EUROSEM)
prognosis of riverine ecological functioning in
catchments
Improvement of availablewater quality models
