Impacts of Climate Change and Land Use Change on the Water Resources of the Mula and Mutha Rivers Catchment Upstream of Pune, In IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND LAND USE CHANGE ON THE WATER RESOURCES OF THE MULA AND MUTHA RIVERS CATCHMENT UPSTREAM OF PUNE, INDIA I NAUGURAL-DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität zu Köln vorgelegt von Paul Daniel Wagner aus Aachen Köln, 2013 Berichterstatter: Prof. Dr. Karl Schneider Prof. Dr. Georg Bareth Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 21.01.2013 Abstract Water scarcity is one of the most challenging problems the world is facing in the 21st century. Population growth and economic development often lead to an increase of water demand, whereas climate change and land use change have an impact on water availability. The assessment of the impacts of climate change and land use change on the water resources is highly relevant as it is a prerequisite for water management adaptation and for the development of suitable mitigation strategies, especially in regions with scarce water resources, high climate sensitivity, and a rapid socio-economic development. This thesis aims at the development of a hydrologic model to analyze the impacts of climate change and land use change on the water balance components in the meso-scale (2036 km²) Mula and Mutha Rivers catchment upstream of the city of Pune, India. To this end, the hydrologic model SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) was modified and adapted to the study area. By combining generally available data, locally available data, field measurements, expert knowledge, and data preprocessing methods in this hydrologic modeling approach, the problem of limited data availability was addressed. A focus was set on the spatial interpolation of sparse rainfall data, as rainfall is one of the most important inputs for hydrologic models. It was found that the applied modeling approach is suitable for data scarce regions. Furthermore, the methodology is transferable to tropical and sub-tropical regions. In particular, the use of a TRMM rainfall pattern as a covariate for spatial rainfall interpolation was very promising. Climate change impacts were analyzed using regional climate model data based on IPCC emission scenario A1B. A new downscaling approach was developed that is based on representing the scenario data by rearranging historically measured data in order to link the coarse resolution regional climate model data to the catchment scale. The hydrologic model was run for the scenario period from 2020 to 2099 using the rearranged weather data. The developed downscaling technique provided a consistent weather input for the scenario period, but was limited by the range of measured temperature values. Hence, climate change impacts at the end of the scenario period were likely to be underestimated. The climate change scenario resulted in higher evapotranspiration, particularly in the first months of the dry season. Thus, water availability was decreased more rapidly and earlier in the dry season. In addition, more frequent dry years led to repeated low water storages in the reservoirs at the end of rainy season. Past land use changes between 1989 and 2009 were identified with the help of three multitemporal land use classifications which were based on multispectral satellite data. Two model runs were performed and compared using the land use classifications of 1989 and 2009. The main land use changes in the past two decades were an increase of urban area and cropland, while semi-natural land use decreased. Urbanization in the eastern part of the catchment resulted in a shift of cropland towards the west. On the catchment scale the impacts of these land use changes upon the water balance canceled each other out. However, at the sub-basin scale, urbanization led to an increase of the water yield and a decrease of evapotranspiration, whereas the increase of cropland resulted in an increase of evapotranspiration. These changes yielded a change of the intra-annual course of runoff, so that runoff increased in the rainy season due to urbanization, and decreased in the dry season due to increased irrigation water demand. Climate change and land use change pose challenges to the diverse water users inside and outside of the catchment. In particular, the indicated decrease of water availability in the dry season exacerbates the imbalance of water availability and water demand at this time of the year. Overall this thesis substantially enhances the knowledge of global change impacts on the water resources in the study area, which provides a means to mitigate future impacts by adapting water management. Furthermore, the developed and improved methods for hydrologic modeling in data scarce regions are transferable to other study areas and applicable in future research. Kurzzusammenfassung Wasserknappheit stellt eine der größten Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts dar. Bevölkerungswachstum und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung führen häufig zu steigendem Wasserbedarf, während Klimawandel und Landnutzungsänderungen das Wasserdargebot beeinflussen. Die Untersuchung der Auswirkungen von Klimawandel und Landnutzungsänderungen auf die Wasserressourcen ist insofern hoch relevant, weil sie Voraussetzung für eine Anpassung des Wassermanagements und die Entwicklung geeigneter Mitigationsstrategien ist. Besonders in Regionen mit knappen Wasserressourcen, hoher Klimasensitivität und großer sozioökonomischer Dynamik ist eine solche Untersuchung von großer Bedeutung. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines hydrologischen Modells für die Untersuchung von Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und von Landnutzungsänderungen auf die Wasserhaushaltskomponenten des mesoskaligen (2036 km²) Einzugsgebiets der Flüsse Mula und Mutha oberhalb der Stadt Pune in Indien. Zu diesem Zweck wurde das hydrologische Modell SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) modifiziert und an das Untersuchungsgebiet angepasst. Durch die Kombination von allgemein und lokal verfügbaren Daten, Messungen, Expertenwissen und Methoden der Datenaufbereitung wurde dem Problem der eingeschränkten Datenverfügbarkeit in diesem Modellansatz begegnet. Ein Schwerpunkt wurde auf die räumliche Interpolation der wenigen Niederschlagsmessungen gelegt, da der Niederschlag eine der wichtigsten Eingangsgrößen für die hydrologische Modellierung ist. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigen, dass die verwendete Methode für die hydrologische Modellierung in datenarmen Gebieten geeignet, und überdies auf andere datenarme Gebiete in den Tropen und Subtropen übertragbar ist. Insbesondere war die Verwendung eines TRMM Niederschlagsmusters als Kovariate für die räumliche Interpolation des Niederschlags sehr vielversprechend. Die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels wurden unter Verwendung von Berechnungen eines Regionalen Klimamodells, die auf dem IPCC Emissionsszenario A1B basieren, analysiert. Um die grobaufgelösten Daten des Regionalen Klimamodells auf die Einzugsgebietsskala zu übertragen, wurde eine Downscaling-Methode entwickelt, die den Szenarienverlauf durch neu angeordnete Messdaten wiedergibt. Das hydrologische Modell wurde mit diesen neu angeordneten Messdaten für den Szenarienzeitraum von 2020 bis 2099 betrieben. Die entwickelte Downscaling-Methode lieferte ein in sich konsistentes Wetter für den Szenarienzeitraum, wurde aber durch den Wertebereich der gemessenen Temperaturen begrenzt. Deshalb wurden die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels gegen Ende des Szenarienzeitraums wahrscheinlich unterschätzt. Das Klimawandelszenario führte zu erhöhter Evapotranspiration, besonders in den ersten Monaten der Trockenzeit. Dadurch nahm das verfügbare Wasser in der Trockenzeit schneller und früher ab. Häufigere Trockenjahre führten außerdem mehrfach zu niedrigen Speicherständen in den Stauseen am Ende der Regenzeit. Die Landnutzungsänderungen zwischen 1989 und 2009 wurden mit der Hilfe von drei multitemporalen Landnutzungsklassifikationen, die auf multispektralen Satellitendaten basieren, erfasst. Zwei Modellläufe für die Klassifikationen aus den Jahren 1989 und 2009 wurden durchgeführt und miteinander verglichen. Die wichtigsten Landnutzungsänderungen der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte sind die Zunahme von Siedlungsflächen und Ackerflächen und die Abnahme naturnaher Landnutzungsflächen. Urbanisierung im östlichen Teil des Einzugsgebiets führte zu einer Verlagerung der Ackerflächen nach Westen. Die Auswirkungen dieser Landnutzungsänderungen auf den Wasserhaushalt des Einzugsgebiets glichen sich gegenseitig aus. In den Teileinzugsgebieten wurde jedoch deutlich, dass die Urbanisierung zu einer Erhöhung der Abflussspende und einer Abnahme der Evapotranspiration führte, während die Zunahme der Ackerfläche in einer Zunahme der Evapotranspiration resultierte. Diese Veränderungen führten zu einer Änderung des Abflussgangs, so dass der Abfluss aus dem Einzugsgebiet in der Regenzeit durch Urbanisierung zunahm und in der Trockenzeit durch den gestiegenen Bewässerungsbedarf abnahm. Klimawandel und Landnutzungsänderungen sind eine Herausforderung für die unterschiedlichen Wassernutzer innerhalb und außerhalb des Einzugsgebiets. Besonders während der Trockenzeit kommt es zu einer Verschärfung des Ungleichgewichts von Wasserverfügbarkeit und Wasserbedarf. Insgesamt erweitert diese Arbeit das Wissen über die Auswirkungen des Globalen Wandels auf die Wasserressourcen im Untersuchungsgebiet deutlich und schafft damit die Voraussetzungen dafür, zukünftige Auswirkungen abzuschwächen, indem das Wassermanagement angepasst wird. Außerdem können die neu- und weiterentwickelten Methoden zur hydrologischen Modellierung in datenarmen Gebieten auf andere Gebiete

Keshavamurty (1978-85) (1986-92) (1992-96) INTRODUCTION The need to understand the mechanism of monsoon and other weather systems and climate related processes in the tropics took a concrete shape soon after the third World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Congress in 1959 recommended the creation of meteorological research and training Institutes in the tropical countries. Acting on this recommendation, the Government of India established the Institute of Tropical Meteorology (ITM) on 17 November 1962, at Pune, as a distinct unit of the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Subsequently, ITM was made an autonomous research organisation and renamed as the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), on 1 April 1971. The Institute has, since then, grown into a leading research centre of international repute in various aspects of atmospheric sciences, particularly those concerning monsoons and tropical climate. With more than 100 scientists engaged in different research programmes devoted to tropical meteorology, the Institute is widely acclaimed to be one of its kind in the world. The work at the Institute, over the years, has been marked by significant achievements in research as well as physical development of the infrastructure including its campus. Meteorology and atmospheric sciences have seen tremendous research and development activities during the last few decades.
