35 WBalMo Elbe application fields and first results Wetlands - Modeling of water balance in wetlands - 35 wetlands integrated into WBalMo Elbe

36 WBalMo Elbe application fields and first results Wetlands - Change of water withdrawel from period 1 to 10 (median, relating to the wetland area)

37 Conclusions and outlook Conclusions - Water use conflicts exist both for extreme drought situations and for climate change - Water shortages from withdrawals occur in tributaries to Elbe river - In the main Elbe river water use conflict is due to minimum discharges for different purposes Outlook - For all water users vulnerability for extreme drought situations, for climate and socioeconomic changes will be analyzed, - For reservoirs and dams failure in water supply will be analyzed, - For most affected water uses water management options will be developed
