Presentation Transcript

  1. Defining and modelling the Coastal Zone affected by the Po river (Italy) Artioli Y., Bendoricchio G., Palmeri L. 6th ELOISE meeting

  2. The EUROCAT project 6th ELOISE meeting

  3. The POCAT Consortium University of Padova CNR-IIA CIES – University of Calabria 6th ELOISE meeting

  4. Eutrophication in NACZ 6th ELOISE meeting

  5. Coastal Zone database 6th ELOISE meeting

  6. Definition of a Coastal Zone affected by a river discharge • Area that is sensitive to the influence of the water discharged by the river • A point in a CZ is sensitive to the river water discharge if the variance of salinity is greater then an arbitrary value 6th ELOISE meeting

  7. Definition of CZ 6th ELOISE meeting

  8. WASP6 application to the POCZ 6th ELOISE meeting

  9. Hydrodynamic model EUTRO TOXI WASP6 application to the POCZ • Calibration of the hydrodynamic model using the TOXI module • Calibration of the water quality model using the EUTRO module 6th ELOISE meeting

  10. Calibration 6th ELOISE meeting

  11. Calibration 6th ELOISE meeting

  12. Calibration 6th ELOISE meeting

  13. Calibration 6th ELOISE meeting

  14. Calibration – trophic state 6th ELOISE meeting

  15. MONERIS Loads reduction WASP6 CZ water quality DEFINITE cost-benefit Future scenarios STATE PRESSURE DRIVER IMPACT RESPONSE 6th ELOISE meeting

  16. Scenarios' nutrient loads reduction 6th ELOISE meeting

  17. Results INPUT CZ scenarios results 6th ELOISE meeting

  18. Results 6th ELOISE meeting

  19. Eutrophic risk 6th ELOISE meeting

  20. Conclusions • Scientific definition of a coastal zone affected by a river discharge • WQ model calibrated that permits a deeper knowledge of the eutrophic dynamics in the CZ • The simulation of future scenarios show a non-linear response of the CZ to changes on nutrient input loadsThe WFD objectives at the 2016 could be accomplished in the POT and DG scenario,BUT only in the average value 6th ELOISE meeting
