Modelling: HBV

HBV model has been set up for five subcatchments in the Nam Songkhram watershed

The size of the model areas is between 625 and 5029 km2

Ban Tha Kok Daeng

Ban Tha Sri Chomchun

Ban Phok Yai

Ban Khon Sai

Ban Nong Yang

11

Modelling: HBV

Simple optimisation of the model parameters completed

Model results in calibration period (1987-1991) very good to moderately good

Model result in test period (1992-1995) good to moderately good

12

The R2 in calibration period was• 0.92 for Nam Songkhram at Ban Tha Kok Daeng• 0.81 for Nam Oon at Ban Phok Yai• 0.74 for Nam Yam at Ban Khon Sai• 0.86 for Huai Khong at Ban Tha Sri Chomchun• 0.86 for Huai Hi at Ban Nong Yang

The R2 of the test period (1992-1995) was• 0.83 for Nam Songkhram at Ban Tha Kok Daeng• 0.81 for Nam Oon at Ban Phok Yai• 0.73 for Nam Yam at Ban Khon Sai• 0.77 for Huai Khong at Ban Tha Sri Chomchun• 0.76 for Huai Hi at Ban Nong Yang

HBV results

13

Modelling :VMod

2D distributed hydrological model coupled with a 1D hydrodynamic river, reservoir and lake model

Physical model of the application area that takes into account variability in elevations, soil properties, vegetation, land use etc.

14

Landuse/Irrigated area

Landuse (1997) types are• Water• Agriculture• Irrigated agriculture• Evergreen/mixed forest• Deciduous forest/scrub

89% of landuse agriculture or irrigated agriculture

Irrigated 3280 km2 (24% of catchment, 2001)

New landuse data (2002)

15

Soils

Five soil types

80 % acrisol/plintic acrisol

Low water retention and conductivity

water

floodplain

alluvial soils

(plinthic) acrisol

slope complex

16

Modelling: VMod

1 km model grid (resolution can and probably will be increased)

Flow network computed from DEM and corrected

The number of landuse and soil classes has been reduced to make the calibration and use of the model easier and clearer

5 landuse classes

5 soil classes

17

Modelling: VMod, newest developments

Data from four new discharge station added to the model

Calibration of the model has continued with this new data

New developments of the irrigation practices include the possibility to subtract water from the river to be used in irrigation

Computed flow at Ban Tha Kok Daeng compared to measured data

The results are much better than the previous results, but there is still room for more improvement

R2 is 0.91 in calibration period, 0.84 in test period

The other four stations with discharge measurement have been included in the model and their calibration is only in the beginning

The computed vs. measured in these new stations is not as good as in Ban Tha Kok Daeng

The R2 in calibration period was• 0.55 for Nam Oon at Ban Phok Yai (there are still problems with

irrigational practices and with the Nam Oon dam here)• 0.65 for Nam Yam at Ban Khon Sai• 0.58 for Huai Khong at Ban Tha Sri Chomchun• 0.80 for Huai Hi at Ban Nong Yang

VMod flow computations, other stations

20

VMod: Future tasks

Develop further the agricultural water practices (water trapping, discharge and evaporation from paddy fields etc.)

Check the floodplains in the hydrological model

Add structures that may affect flow

Check river dimensions (cross sections)

Further calibration of the model

Include water quality and erosion components to the model and calibrate these

Clarify and execute scenarios (e.g. irrigation, land use and climatological changes)

21

EIA 3D Model

Latest development Some preliminary results

22

3D hydrodynamic and WQ application

3D hydrodynamic model coupled with a water quality model

3D hydrodynamics flood arrival time, duration and depth in different

locations of the modelled area, other flood characteristics

Water quality: sediment concentration, net-sedimentation, oxygen, etc

Run through a GIS-type graphical user interface

23

Input data for the 3D model

River and floodplain topography• Hydrographic atlas data • river cross-sections for Nam Songkhram • digital elevation map (DEM) for floodplain

Boundary conditions• Upstream discharge and water level in Mekong• Upstream dishcarge in Nam Songkhram• Downstream rating curve (in Mekong)

Landuse Wind (Precipitation)

24

Modelling: 3D

The main tribuaries of the Nam Songkhram have been included in the model (Nam Oon, Nam Yam, Huai Hi...)

Model calculation have been visually compared to data from inundated areas

Effect of Mekong mainstream waterlevel (backwater effect)

Sensitivity to parameter values has been analysed

Channel dimension and elevations have been modified (still in progress)

Interaction between Nam Songkhram and Mekong• Reverse flow• Back water effect

33

EIA 3D modelling: Future tasks

Include new river cross sections in to the model
