Details of the Working Group
Development & application of river basin simulators: Lead by Jun Xia.
Based on big data of river system observation, hydrological knowledge, and artificial intelligence technology (AIT), a river basin simulator (RBS) stands as a data-driven simulation and regulatory decision making system within a river basin. Encompassing monitoring, simulation, assessment, early warning, and decision-making support capabilities, a river basin simulator finds practical applications across diverse sectors including water resources, agriculture, energy, shipping, flood control, environmental preservation, and beyond. Through these applications, it plays a pivotal role in supporting integrating natural hydrology with socio-hydrology and fostering sustainable development.
