The goal of the Core Cycle Water resources is to analyse the actual situation and consumption of water resources, to develop a water conservation strategy for the sustainable use and to implement this optimization. The task group is therefore divided into three subprojects:
(Patrick Klenk; Institute of Environmental Physics, Heidelberg)
Assessment of the hydrological state and monitor its future development with remote sensing tools and GPR (ground penetrating radar), apply these tools to develop a proxy index for seasonal and annual variation and quantify the impact of regional changes
– Measuring near-surface soil moisture at the field scale – Ground Penetrating Radar in a Remote Sensing Context (P. Klenk)
(Katharina Fricke und Yuan Yao, Department of Geography, Heidelberg)
Development of a water resources information and control management system, based on a descriptive hydrological model including input information from subproject 1 and data from our Chinese partners, presentation of a water conservation strategy and identification of starting points and potentials for the implementation of technical solutions for water conservation.
