The effect of water management, which reduces discharge variability, is often not considered in climate change impact studies. Here, we investigated how water resources management influences discharge variability and uncertainty propagation of climate change scenarios by combining the analyses of observed flow records and model-based climate change impact simulations. Two neighbouring catchments, the Schwarze Elster River (Germany) and the Spree River (Germany and Czech Republic) which are similar in climate, topography and land use, but different in terms of water resources management were chosen as study area. The intense water resources management in the Spree River catchment includes a high reservoir capacity, water use in terms of mining discharges and water withdrawals by power plants as well as water transfers. The analysis of historical flow records focusses on variability indices (Parde index, Richards-Baker-Flashiness Index, Interquartile Ratio and Baseflow Index). The climate change impact simulations were carried out using a model cascade of (i) the statistical regional model STAR (100 stochastically generated realizations each for 3 scenarios with different prescribed temperature trend), (ii) the hydrological models SWIM and EGMO, and (iii) the water resources management model WBalMo. The analysis of the observed discharges reveals that the annual discharge variability in the Spree catchment is dominated by mining activities rather than natural rainfall-runoff processes. Due to the high reservoir capacity in the Spree catchment its discharge is characterised by less seasonality and short-term variability compared to the Schwarze Elster. Simulations with climate change scenarios assuming increasing temperature and decreasing precipitation result in pronounced reductions of discharge in both catchments. The differences in potential natural discharges between the Schwarze Elster and the Spree catchments as projected by the hydrological models SWIM and EGMO are marginal. The uncertainties related to the climate projection are propagated through the hydrological models. In the Schwarze Elster catchment, the managed discharges simulated by WBalMo are comparable to the potential natural discharges. In the Spree River however, the short-term variability is moderated by water resources management and managed discharge under climate change is less affected by amplification of uncertainties through model chains. The results of the study, which combines the analyses of observed flow records and model-based climate change impact simulations, imply that generally, effective water resources management reducing discharge variability hence also reduces uncertainty related to climate change impacts on river discharge. Catchments with a high storage ratio are thus less vulnerable to changing climate conditions. This underlines the role of water resources management in coping with climate change impacts. Yet, due to decreasing reservoir volumes in drought periods, reservoir management alone cannot compensate strong changes in climate conditions over long time periods.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PohleNiebischZhaetal., author = {Pohle, Ina and Niebisch, Michael and Zha, Tingting and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and M{\"u}ller, Hannes and Maurer, Thomas and Hinz, Christoph}, title = {A stochastical event-based continuous time step rainfall generator based on Poisson rectangular pulse and microcanonical random cascade models}, series = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2017 Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2017}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, abstract = {Rainfall variability within a storm is of major importance for fast hydrological processes, e.g. surface runoff, erosion and solute dissipation from surface soils. To investigate and simulate the impacts of within-storm variabilities on these processes, long time series of rainfall with high resolution are required. Yet, observed precipitation records of hourly or higher resolution are in most cases available only for a small number of stations and only for a few years. To obtain long time series of alternating rainfall events and interstorm periods while conserving the statistics of observed rainfall events, the Poisson model can be used. Multiplicative microcanonical random cascades have been widely applied to disaggregate rainfall time series from coarse to fine temporal resolution. We present a new coupling approach of the Poisson rectangular pulse model and the multiplicative microcanonical random cascade model that preserves the characteristics of rainfall events as well as inter-storm periods. In the first step, a Poisson rectangular pulse model is applied to generate discrete rainfall events (duration and mean intensity) and inter-storm periods (duration). The rainfall events are subsequently disaggregated to high-resolution time series (user-specified, e.g. 10 min resolution) by a multiplicative microcanonical random cascade model. One of the challenges of coupling these models is to parameterize the cascade model for the event durations generated by the Poisson model. In fact, the cascade model is best suited to downscale rainfall data with constant time step such as daily precipitation data. Without starting from a fixed time step duration (e.g. daily), the disaggregation of events requires some modifications of the multiplicative microcanonical random cascade model proposed by Olsson (1998): Firstly, the parameterization of the cascade model for events of different durations requires continuous functions for the probabilities of the multiplicative weights, which we implemented through sigmoid functions. Secondly, the branching of the first and last box is constrained to preserve the rainfall event durations generated by the Poisson rectangular pulse model. The event-based continuous time step rainfall generator has been developed and tested using 10 min and hourly rainfall data of four stations in North-Eastern Germany. The model performs well in comparison to observed rainfall in terms of event durations and mean event intensities as well as wet spell and dry spell durations. It is currently being tested using data from other stations across Germany and in different climate zones. Furthermore, the rainfall event generator is being applied in modelling approaches aimed at understanding the impact of rainfall variability on hydrological processes.}, language = {en} } @book{EbnervonEschenbachHelmsKleinhansetal., author = {Ebner von Eschenbach, Anna-Dorothea and Helms, Martin and Kleinhans, Alexander and Laaha, Gregor and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Walther, J{\"o}rg and Willems, Winfried and Wittenberg, Hartmut}, title = {Statistische Analyse von Niedrigwasserkenngr{\"o}ßen}, edition = {Juli 2022}, publisher = {DWA, Deutsche Vereinigung f{\"u}r Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V.}, address = {Hennef}, isbn = {978-3-96862-221-7}, pages = {111}, abstract = {Niedrigwasser ist ein integraler Bestandteil des Abflussregimes, der einen zeitlich und regional begrenzten Zustand in einem oberirdischen Gew{\"a}sser beschreibt, bei dem der Wasserstand oder der Abfluss einen bestimmten Schwellenwert erreicht oder unterschreitet.

Here we present an experimental design to test the emergence of seedlings in situ with (i) capping natural intact, (ii) destroyed and (iii) removed BSC. The selected field site is directly adjacent to the constructed H{\"u}hnerwasser catchment (Lusatia, Germany). This site exists since the end of 2008 and consists of loamy sand. Serving as proxy for seedling thrust, we inserted pre-germinated seeds of three confamiliar plant species with different seed masses (members of the Fabaceae family: Lotus corniculatus L., Ornithopus sativus Brot., and Glycine max (L.) Merr.). In each treatment as well as in the control group planting depths were 10 mm. We took care that experimental plots had identical crust thickness, slightly less than 4 mm, serving as proxy for mechanical resistance. A plot became established as follows: Firstly, the pristine crusted surface was vertically cut. To the windward side the BSC remained intact (i: "with BSC" stripe). To the downwind side soil material was temporarily excavated for laterally inserting the seeds beneath the surface of the first stripe. Then at the thereby disturbed second stripe pulverised BSC material became filled as a top layer (ii: "BSC mix" stripe). From the next stripe the BSC was removed (iii : "no BSC" stripe). Thus each plot had each experimental group in spatial contiguity (within 50 cm * 50 cm). The overall 50 plots were distributed across an area of 40 m * 12 m. When individuals of a species either emerged at all stripes, "XXX", or at no stripe of a plot, "- - -", there was no reason to suppose any effect of a crust. The "-XX" emergence pattern (depicting the appearance of seedlings in both stripes possessing manipulated surfaces) points towards hindrance more clearly than "-X-" or "- - X". Altogether eight possible combinations exist. Combinatorial analysis turned out that seedling emergence had been notably impeded for light-weighted seeds but little for heavy seeds. Repeated recordings enable to account for adaptable emergence of seedlings according to varying crust conditions - in spatial as well as temporal terms. The proposed experimental procedure hence is highly recommended as a viable instrument to further investigate filter and facilitation processes between BSCs and vascular plants.}, language = {en} } @misc{PohleNiebischMuelleretal., author = {Pohle, Ina and Niebisch, Michael and M{\"u}ller, Hannes and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Zha, Tingting and Maurer, Thomas and Hinz, Christoph}, title = {Coupling Poisson rectangular pulse and multiplicative microcanonical random cascade models to generate subdaily precipitation time series}, series = {Journal of Hydrology}, volume = {562}, journal = {Journal of Hydrology}, issn = {0022-1694}, doi = {10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.04.063}, pages = {50 -- 70}, abstract = {To simulate the impacts of within-storm rainfall variabilities on fast hydrological processes, long precipi-tation time series with high temporal resolution are required. Due to limited availability of observed data such time series are typically obtained from stochastic models. However, most existing rainfall models are limited in their ability to conserve rainfall event statistics which are relevant for hydrological pro-cesses. Poisson rectangular pulse models are widely applied to generate long time series of alternating precipitation events durations and mean intensities as well as interstorm period durations. Multiplicative microcanonical random cascade (MRC) models are used to disaggregate precipitation time series from coarse to fine temporal resolution. To overcome the inconsistencies between the temporal structure of the Poisson rectangular pulse model and the MRC model, we developed a new coupling approach by introducing two modifications to the MRC model. These modifications comprise (a) a modified cascade model ("constrained cascade") which preserves the event durations generated by the Poisson rectangular model by constraining the first and last interval of a precipitation event to contain precipitation and (b) continuous sigmoid func-tions of the multiplicative weights to consider the scale-dependency in the disaggregation of precipita-tion events of different durations. The constrained cascade model was evaluated in its ability to dis-aggregate observed precipitation events in comparison to existing MRC models. For that, we used a 20-year record of hourly precipitation at six stations across Germany. The constrained cascade model showed a pronounced better agreement with the observed data in terms of both the temporal pattern of the precipitation time series (e.g. the dry and wet spell durations and autocorrelations) and event char-acteristics (e.g. intra-event intermittency and intensity fluctuation within events). The constrained cas-cade model also slightly outperformed the other MRC models with respect to the intensity-frequency relationship. To assess the performance of the coupled Poisson rectangular pulse and constrained cascade model, precipitation events were stochastically generated by the Poisson rectangular pulse model and then disaggregated by the constrained cascade model. We found that the coupled model performs satisfac-torily in terms of the temporal pattern of the precipitation time series, event characteristics and the in-tensity-frequency relationship.}, language = {en} } @book{SchuembergBartlGruenewald, author = {Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Bartl, Steffen and Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe}, title = {Erschließung und Einbeziehung historischer Informationen f{\"u}r die Ermittlung extremer Hochwasserabfl{\"u}sse - Fallbeispiele und Empfehlungen - DWA-Themen}, publisher = {Hennef : Deutsche Vereinigung f{\"u}r Wasserwirtschaft, Abwasser und Abfall e.V.}, isbn = {978-3-940173-75-1}, language = {de} } @misc{BartlSchuembergDeutsch, author = {Bartl, Steffen and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Deutsch, Mathias}, title = {Revising time series of the Elbe river discharge for flood frequency determination at gauge Dresden}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GruenewaldSchuembergMerzetal., author = {Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Merz, Bruno and Thieken, Annegret and Petrow, Theresia and Kreibich, Heidi and Streitz, Willi and Kaltofen, Michael}, title = {Flood risk reduction in Germany after the Elbe 2002 flood : aspects of hazard mapping and early warning systems}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HinzSchuembergKubitzetal., author = {Hinz, Christoph and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Kubitz, Anita and Frank, Franzi and Cheng, Zhang and Frechen, Tobias Nanu and Pohle, Ina}, title = {Dynamic effects of wet-dry cycles and crust formation on the saturated hydraulic conductivity of surface soils in the constructed H{\"u}hnerwasser ("Chicken Creek") catchment}, series = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2016, Vienna, Austria}, booktitle = {European Geosciences Union, General Assembly 2016, Vienna, Austria}, publisher = {European Geophysical Society}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, abstract = {Highly disturbed soils and substrates used in land rehabilitation undergo rapid changes after the first wetting events which in turn can lead to ecosystem degradation. Such changes were detected during the early development of the constructed H{\"u}hnerwasser ("Chicken Creek") catchment in Lusatia, Germany. Surface substrates consisting of quaternary sandy sediments formed surface seals during the first rainfall events leading to reduced infiltration and substantially increased surface runoff. Subsequently biological soil crusts formed and stabilised the surface. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that cause the hydraulic conductivity to decrease using undisturbed and disturbed soil samples. Based on the hypothesis that physical and biological crusts lower the hydraulic conductivity, the first set of experiments with undisturbed soil cores from the H{\"u}hnerwasser catchment were carried out to measure the saturated hydraulic conductivity using the constant head method. Measurements were done with intact cores and repeated after the surface crust was removed. As the quaternary glacial sediments tend to display hard setting behaviour, we further hypothesised that the mobilisation of fine particles within the cores lead to pore clogging and that wet-dry cycles will therefore decrease hydraulic conductivity. A second set of experiments using the same methodology consisted of five repeated measurements of hydraulic conductivity after each drying cycle. These measurements were done with undisturbed core samples as well as repacked cores in order to assess how dry packing affects the dynamics of the hydraulic conductivity somewhat similar to the situation during the first wetting after completion of the catchment construction. For all experiments, the temporal evolution of hydraulic conductivity was measured and the turbidity of the effluent was recorded. The results clearly demonstrated that the substrate is highly unstable. The first set of experiments showed that the removal of the crust lead generally to a decrease in hydraulic conductivity. The process of crust removal represented a severe disturbance of the surface soil which to our understanding causes particle mobilisation and subsequent pore clogging. The first hypothesis could neither be rejected nor accepted. The second set of experiments showed that the hydraulic conductivity significantly dropped in particular after the first drying event. This was observed for both undisturbed and repacked samples. The following drying cycles further decreased the hydraulic conductivity in the repacked samples. The decrease in hydraulic conductivity was positively correlated to turbidity values in the effluent of the samples, indicating particle mobilisation in all samples. The results imply that hydraulic properties in such substrates undergo rapid changes that depend on the temporal dynamics of atmospheric drivers, precipitation and evaporative demand, controlling the degree of wetness and the rate and degree of drying during the very early stage after placement. Associated with the dynamics of the atmospheric drivers are the biological changes due to the formation of biological soil crusts and the establishment of vegetation, both of them contributing to the stabilisation of hydraulic properties.}, language = {en} } @techreport{GruenewaldSchoenheinzEnderetal., author = {Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Schoenheinz, Dagmar and Ender, Remo and Fleischhammel, Petra and Schapp, Andrea and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Uhlmann, Wilfried and Seiler, D. and Zimmermann, K.}, title = {"Perspektive See" : zum Stand der Entwicklung der Wasserbeschaffenheit in den Lausitzer Bergbaufolgeseen, Abschlussbericht Projektzeitraum 2008 - 2012}, pages = {131}, language = {de} } @book{GruenewaldSchuembergKaltofenetal., author = {Gr{\"u}newald, Uwe and Sch{\"u}mberg, Sabine and Kaltofen, Michael and Merz, Bruno and Kreibich, Heidi and Petrow, Theresia and Thieken, Annegret and Streitz, Willi and Dombrowsky, Wolf R.}, title = {Hochwasservorsorge in Deutschland : Lernen aus der Katastrophe 2002 im Elbegebiet}, publisher = {Dt.

Nonlinear and overlapping responses to climate, land use, and water resources management (WRM) make it difficult to link observed stream-flow variability to individual drivers and to project potential future changes in stream-flow volume and variability. Here, we investigate WRM influences on stream-flow variability for two rivers with similar natural catchment characteristics, the Schwarze Elster and the Spree. The Schwarze Elster is characterized by less intensive WRM compared to the Spree. Management influences on stream-flow variability in the past were analysed by comparing observed managed stream-flow with simulated natural flow (model SWIM). Simulation results of natural flow and managed stream-flow (model WBalMo) forced by different climate scenarios were investigated to assess management influences on potential future stream-flow. The Schwarze Elster shows little management influences on stream-flow both in the past and under future scenarios. WRM related to lignite mining activities rather than natural processes dominated seasonal and annual stream-flow variability of the Spree in the past, while reservoir management mainly impacted short-term variability. Long-term and short-term stream-flow variability of the Spree are expected to be further reduced in future by reservoir management and water transfers to ensure minimum flow requirements.
