DK model 2019 – Model data

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.
