Projections of streamflow intermittence under climate scenarios in six European river networks

As part of the H2020 DRYvER project, hydrological simulations have been conducted to study the evolution of streamflow intermittence in six river networks across Europe. These projections are based on innovative hydrological models capable of simulating the alternating phases of flow and drying conditions at high spatial resolution.

The dataset provides simulated daily streamflows and flow conditions from 1985 to 2100, considering three greenhouse gas emission scenarios and five climate models. It also includes a set of statistical flow intermittence indicators designed to assess the potential impacts of climate change on river networks and their ecosystems.

The dataset is part of the DRYvER-WP1 Hydrological modelling catchment scale Europe collection, hosted on the “Recherche Data Gouv” repository, which also contains the models used to simulate hydrological projections, the streamflow intermittence data observed in the six study areas, and the simulated streamflow intermittence data under past climate conditions (1961-2021).
