1 Indus Forum Workshop Switzerland Knowledge Exchange on Glaciers and Climate Oct. 2016, University of Zurich, Switzerland Experience with Water Management and Decision Support Systems from the Tarim Basin Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Disse Technical University of Munich ww.sustainable-landmanagement.net

2 Introduction 2

3 Introduction 3

4 Impact of climate change and socio-economic development on water availability Developing methods for analyzing ecosystem functions / ecosystem services Introducing transdisciplinary research by stakeholder participation Installation of a Decision Support System for supporting sustainable land and water management 4 Scientific objectives of SuMaRiO

5 Today s outline 5 Project structure

6 extremely arid desert climate average annual temperature: 10.5 C to 11.5 C average annual precipitation: around 50 mm (lowland) Annual reference evapotranspiration about 2,500 mm Climate diagram Korla (weatherbase.com) 6 Climate and Hydrology

7 Only water resource: River water that originates from the surrounding mountains Gauge Yengi Bazar (Tarim Watershed Administration) 7 Climate and Hydrology

8 Annual Runoff Aksu River upstream Aksu City Source: Tang, D. S.; Deng, M.J. (2010), On the Management of Water Rights in the Tarim River Basin, Beijing: Zhongguo Shili Shuidian Chubanshe Annual Runoff Tarim River near Alar 8 Climate and Societal Change

10 Yengibazar (Tarim River middle reach) - area (80 km²) located in the Tarim Populus Euphratica National Forest Park - land use systems: - agriculture - natural Tugai-forests - desert vegetation - Large natural floodplains with direct connection to the Tarim - dramatic land use change (cotton fields) 10 Spatial distributed modeling of groundwater recharge and impact of land use and climate change

11 Yengibazar (Tarim River middle reach) Groundwater recharge Spatial distributed modeling of groundwater recharge and impact of land use and climate change

12 Yengibazar (Tarim River middle reach) 2004 Changes in flooding by land use changes 12 Spatial distributed modeling of groundwater recharge and impact of land use and climate change 12

13 Research domain: nearly km² with Cotton, Fruits, Tugai and Natural Vegetation Aim: Regional water allocation and ground water model for the whole basin 13 Macroscale Tarim River and riparian areas

14 MODFLOW: USGS three-dimensional finite-difference groundwater model Gridsize: 500 * 500 m, recharge by flooding, river seepage and irrigation Depth of the groundwater table in the irrigation period Kilometers 14 Macroscale Groundwater Module

15 Inflow Input: Modelled discharge for four different climate scenarios in Alar (Beginning of the Tarim River) Output: Water demand in each subcatchment and routing of the resulting water amount downstream SC 1 SC 2 SC 3 SC 4 Daixihezi Reservoir 15 Tarim Water Allocation in the DSS

16 Water use - yield relationship: (1 Y a Y m ) = K y (1 ET a ET c ) Water consumption Water allocation Water losses Water deficit daily Water balance monthly SC 1 SC 2 SC 3 SC 4 Taitema Lake Mike Hydro Water demand for crops Cultivation area in each SC MODFLOW Groundwater level DSS No. of cells for each crop Each cell water demand, vitality, salinization, 16 Coupling between Hydrology & DSS
