Project description
A hydro-energy-economic model to protect our river basins
Europe’s river basins are suffering. They clearly demonstrate the impact of climate. Weather extremes present a serious threat. However, most prevention policies are short-term measures that ignore the long-term causes, consequences, and economic effects of such changes. The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) SIMARIS project will study the long-term investment required for climate change mitigation, adaptation, and resource recovery innovations at river basin scale. The project will take a novel approach by integrating an intertemporal macroeconomic growth model with a process-based hydro-energy-economic model. The findings (policy-relevant solutions) will assist river basin managers and enrich water management research with novel methods.
Objective
Global warming and consequent increase in frequencies of extreme weather events (flooding, drought, landslides, etc.) have become major threats to livelihoods across many river basins. Additionally, increasing scarcity of energy, water, land and nutrients threaten food, health and environmental security and require more efficient uses of resources. Yet, most prevention policies aim at only short-term measures of protection or recovery and most basin-scale hydro-economic assessment models do not consider long-term causes, consequences and economic effects of such changes and related policies. Focusing mostly on water, land or energy use efficiency enhancement, water-energy-economic modeling research do not adequately address circular economy options of improving resources use efficiency and reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. This research therefore investigates long-term investments required for climate change mitigation, adaptation and resource recovery innovations at river basin scale. This will be achieved through applying a novel approach of integrating intertemporal macroeconomic growth model with process-based hydro-energy-economic model. Offering demanded policy-relevant solutions to river basin managers and enriching water management research with novel methods, this study greatly enhance the scientific career of the author.
