1 SIS in Water Management Service for Water management In Climate Change Adaptation (SWICCA) Contactor: Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI), Sweden Sub-contractors: ALTERRA, the Netherlands EMVIS, Greece GECOsistema, Italy Dipl.- Ing. Günter Humer GmbH, Austria isardsat S.L., Spain MicroStep-MIS, Slovakia TU Dortmund University, Germany University of Córdoba, Spain Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain Wageningen University, the Netherlands In kind: BfG, Germany Climate Partnership, Princeton, USA JRC, Joint Research Center, EU Target user groups: Consulting Engineers Policy makers in the water sector 1

2 SWICCA users: co-design and evaluation 15 real-life Showcases for Climate Adaptation across Europe Resource allocation (multiple use) Climate-proof Irrigation Strategies Snow Effects on Water Availability Extensive Drought Operations Risk management Climate Change and Flash-Floods Warnings for Extreme River Floods Risk for River Flooding in Lake-rich Regions Ecological status Environmental flows and point source emissions Climate-proof River Water Balance Predicting Change in Lake Ecosystems Climate Change Effects on Water Quality Water related industry Drinking water in a future climate Inland Navigation (Rhine River) Future proof region and brewery chain Water demand and supply of metallurgy sector Hydro Power production in a future climate 2

4 SWICCA data in 15 local work-flows for decision making The example of Environmental flows and point source emissions by EMVIS in Greece (linked to: EU Directive 2010/75/EU on industrial emissions) SWICCA climate impact indicators provided hydrological data (i.e. river flow, precipitation, temperature) and socioeconomics (population) in an easily accessible manner and without the need for laborious processing (cit. Evangelos Romas, EMVIS) 4

5 SWICCA data in 15 local work-flows for decision making The example of Inland Navigation (Rhine River) by BfG in Germany (linked to EU Directives on Inland Waterways and the Water Framework Directive) SWICCA offers a well accessible and easy to use suite of tools, workflows, and guidance here. Using this service, it was easily possible to compare the change signals offered. (cit. Enno Nilsson, BfG) 5

6 Current components of the SWICCA demonstrator Maps, Graphs, Downloads = SWICCA indicator interface & visualisation About SWICCA data = European patterns & relevance; Metadata of all CIIs and ECVs Guidance = how to get started, understand and use the data Showcases = 15 local case-studies using the data for climate adaptation Tutorials =instructive and informative videos FAQ = information sheets Forum/Tools = facilities for sharing between consultant engineers Impact models = detailed info on the hydrological models used Links = to other data providers, to EU policies, to other Climate and Water Services (pan-european, EU member states, world-wide) 6

7 Next steps for 2017 User uptake (proof-of-concept) evaluation of data and Demonstrator in the 15 case studies More guidance Outreach and promotion Seasonal Forecasts Machine-to-Machine compliance (API) for showing CIIs and ECVs from other sources 7
