DK model 2019 – Simulation results comprises calculated hydrological results from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset contains derived results from model runs with DK model 2019, including calculations of water balance, groundwater recharge, impacts of water abstraction, groundwater drawdown, streamflow impacts and changes in flow-related indicators. The results include, among other outputs, comparisons between scenarios with current abstraction and reference scenarios without abstraction. The dataset is used for regional assessment of hydrological conditions, screening of water resource and impact conditions, and documentation of model-calculated results. The results are model-based and should be used with due consideration of the regional purpose, model uncertainties and limitations of DK model in relation to local-scale applications.

The Ministry of the Environment, the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks (MELCCFP) is developing and operating a system for forecasting the level and flow of certain waterways in southern Quebec. The purpose of these hydrological forecasts is to allow more informed planning of interventions, both for flood or low water situations and under more common hydrological conditions.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

DK model 2019 – Calibration statistics comprises spatial and statistical results from the calibration and evaluation of GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset documents model performance for groundwater heads and stream discharge, including statistical measures such as RMSE and mean error for groundwater heads as well as WBE, summer WBE and KGE for streamflow simulations. The calibration was carried out using dynamic model runs and inverse parameter estimation with PEST based on observed groundwater heads and daily discharge data for the period 2000–2010. The dataset is intended for assessing the suitability of DK model 2019 for regional analyses, screening and further use. The calibration statistics describe model performance at national and regional scales and should not by themselves be used as documentation of local-scale model accuracy.

DK model 2019 – Model data comprises core model data from GEUS’ national hydrological model for Denmark. The dataset describes the model basis used in DK model 2019, including the hydrogeological model structure, computational grid, groundwater bodies, climate input, water abstraction data, stream network and other thematic input data included in the model setup. DK model 2019 was updated with new groundwater bodies, new hydrogeological mapping information and a new calibration against observed groundwater heads and stream discharge. The model data form the basis for calculations of groundwater recharge, water balance, water abstraction, drawdown, exploitation rates and impacts on streams. The dataset is suitable as documentation of the model basis and as input to regional analyses, screening and further modelling studies, but should not be used directly for local-scale issues without a separate assessment.
