The distribution of water is due to big spatial and time differences. In order to better understand the hydrological processes of the water cycle and to define those in numbers, the hydrography of Austria observes rainfall, discharge of our waters and groundwater. Division I/3 coordinates the actions of hydrography in Austria and publishes data, evaluations and predictive analyses.
When the melt water is missing: More often low water expected in the Rhine in the future.
11 07 2022
As a result of global warming, Alpine glaciers are melting and the snow cover in winter is becoming thinner. As a result, the runoff contribution from snow and glacier melt in the river Rhine will decrease in the future, as shown by the scenarios calculated in the CHR research project (on the influence of climate change on Rhine runoff) for the near (2031-2060) and far future (2071-2100). This meltwater contribution is crucial as a water reserve for months with less precipitation in summer and autumn.
CHR symposium: Streamflow components will change!
15 06 2022
Representatives of universities, authorities and other organisations followed the presentation of the results with great interest. All scientists involved and the CHR representatives hope that this study will contribute to a (more) careful use of water resources in the future. A further coordination and coupled distribution of tasks of the CHR with the other commissions in the Rhine river basin is foreseen in autumn.
