Project title

Modeling drought vulnerability assessment at country and watershed Levels

Activities

The following objectives were tackled during the 4-months EPP stay as a visiting scholar in Eawag:

• Assessing the influence of input data on automatic calibration of distributed hydrologic models
• Building up country level (Iran) SWAT model, recognizing drought affected regions on watershed and country levels based on thresholds defined for precipitation, Temperature and Soil moisture variables
• Modeling future scenarios of drought situations based on available GCM data
