  1. Riparian- Flood Plain Model • Landscape Analysis Model Inputs • SWAT Modifications REMM Additions • Current Plans

  2. Landscape Analysis Dr. Martin Volk Center for Environmental Research Leipzig, Germany

  3. Study Area

  4. The Saale River Basin (Central Germany) is subdivided in three sub-regions: The Pleistocene lowlands, the loess sub-region and the mountainous sub-region. The length of river is about 320 km. Precipitation varies from 500 mm in the loess areas to 1200 mm in the forested mountain regions.
