Short Description
The objective of this deliverable D5.1 is to enable catchment-scale modellers to perform a multi-objective optimisation of the allocation and combination of Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRMs) in their own case study (CS).
This report (i) introduces the Pareto optimal NSWRM implementation plans as one of the project’s key products, (ii) describes OPTAIN’s optimisation concept, (iii) outlines the requirements that a SWAT+ model setup must meet before it can be used for the optimisation, (iv) shows how to build a SWATmeasR project as a key tool for implementing NSWRMs in a SWAT+ model, and (v) provides a protocol on how to run the optimisation using the software CoMOLA.
The report should also be useful beyond the OPTAIN project for interested SWAT+ modellers who wish to use their model to optimise spatially explicit NSWRM or Best Management Practice (BMP) plans against multiple catchment-scale objectives.
