1 Understanding riverine wetland-catchment processes using remote sensing data and modelling Yunqing Xuan (UNESCO-IHE, NL) Didier Haguma (KIST, Rwanda) William Niyonzima (UNESCO-IHE, NL) Ann van Griensven (UNESCO-IHE, NL) UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education Department of Hydroinformatics and Knowledge Management

2 Catchment modelling Hill slope hydrology Inclusion of agricultural processes

3 Water quality: from river reach to river basin Hill slope hydrology Inclusion of agricultural aspects Importance of natural landscape elements Wetland processes - Water retention - Sediment/Nutrient trapping - Anaerobic processes - Groundwater recharge - Habitats

4 How to represent wetlandcatchment hydrology? What is the value of remote sensing data? How to model wetlands at catchment scale?

5 How to represent wetlandcatchment hydrology? What is the value of remote sensing data? How to model wetlands at catchment scale?

6 Kagera basin Study area

15 Remote sensing data Rainfall data

16 How to represent wetlandcatchment hydrology? What is the value of remote sensing data? How to model wetlands at catchment scale?

17 Wetland-catchment Modelling Soil and Water Assessment Tool Simulation of processes at land and water phase Spatially distributed (different scales) Semi physically based / empirical approaches Simulation of changes (climate, land use, management etc.) Water quantities, incl. different runoff components Water quality: Nutrients, Sediments, Pesticides, Bacteria, (algae and oxygen), etc.. all that on a daily time step and at different spatial scales and (more or less) readily available data sets!!

18 Wetland-catchment Modelling Wetland representation Ponds or wetlands As reservoirs As irrigated potholes

19 Wetland-catchment Modelling New land use map Slope (DEM) Google earth

20 Wetland-catchment Modelling SWAT model Wetlands located in the south part of Rwanda, and north of Burundi, eastern part of Rwanda and West of Tanzania Total number of Subbasin is 35, and HRU number is Wetlands delineation, including Lakes and Reservoirs!( # # 30 #!( # 20 #!( 21 # # 34 # # #!( # Kilometers !( !( # # # 15 # # 12 Legend!( 3 # # # 23 # 10 # ## 8 11 { Lakes and reservoirs locations Reservoirs location # Linking stream added Outlet # Manually added Point Source Kagera river Network Subbasins number Wetelands areas 1 9

21 Wetland-catchment Modelling Preliminary results Surface Q Assessment for wetland modeling comparison Groundwater (GW) Assessment for wetland modeling Value (mm) , ,26 70, Different scenarios for modeling w etlands (Scenarios) Surface Q (No Wetlands) Surface Q (As ponds) Surface Q (As Wetlands) Surface Q (As Reservoirs) Surface Q (As Potholes) Value (mm) , ,8971, (Scenarios GW) Different scenarios for modeling wetlands Groundwater (Gw): No Wetlands Groundwater (Gw): As Ponds Groundwater (Gw):As Wetlands Groundwater (Gw): As Reservoirs Groundwater (Gw): As Potholes Water Yield (YLD) Assessment for wetland modeling comparison.
