ARE SOME HYDROLOGICAL MODELS CAPABLE OF SIMULATING PRESENT AND EVENTUALLY FUTURE
DISCHARGES AND THEIR EXTREMES?
http://www.claris-eu.org/
CONCLUSION
DISTRIBUTED HYDROLOGICAL MODELS ARE ABLE TO REPRODUCE MEAN ANNUAL AND MONTHLY DISCHARGES
With some error in the Paraguay River
YET NEED TO ADJUST THE MODEL AT DAILY SCALE
http://www.claris-eu.org/
SINCE DISTRIBUTED HYDROLOGICAL
MODELS PROVIDE DISCHARGE FLOWS AND NOT LEVELS
CAN LEVELS OF FLOOD BE DETERMINED BY STREAMFLOWS ?
Maximum daily height of the month as a function of the mean monthly flow in Paso
de lo Libres
Maximum daily height of the month in the Paraná River in Reconquista as a function of the mean monthly flow in
Corrientes 1990-1999. Only for months that are part of a sequence of 3 with flows over 30000 m3/s

CONCLUSION
FLOOD INDICATORS CAN BE CALCULATEDFROM RIVER DISCHARGES
THERE WAS A CHANGE?

CONCLUSION
THERE WAS A CHANGE
NEW RETURN CALCULATIONS SHOULD CONSIDERTHE NEW CONDITIONS
(at least until more certain scenarios will be developed)
RESULT (Stakeholders)

ARE INCREASING STREAMFLOWS INFLUENCED BY
LAND USE CHANGE OR
BY CLIMATE OR BY BOTH?

CONCLUSION 4RUN OFF CHANGE WAS CAUSED BY BOTH
IN THE NORTH BY LAND USE CHANGE
IN THE SOUTH BY CLIMATE
IN THE MIDDLE BY BOTH
NOW LOOKING ON THE EFFECT ON FLOODS
Annual rainfall linear trends in mm/year. Period1960–1999. Shaded area, significant at the 95% level
CLIMATE AND STREAMFLOWS
Annual precipitation linear trends in mm/year during
a) El Niño, b) La Niña and c) Neutral phases. Period
1960–1999
