Impact of changing water flow on substance concentrations in large rivers based on climate and discharge projections

Authors: Schima, Benjamin;

Impact of changing water flow on substance concentrations in large rivers based on climate and discharge projections

Abstract

The data set shows the long-term influence of changes in water flow caused by climate change on the concentration of substances in large rivers during low flow conditions. The underlying principle is dilution by the river water. All other factors influencing the substance concentration (e.g., substance input, transportation, and degradation) were assumed to remain unchanged. The Federal Institute of Hydrology generates the results using numerical calculation methods for 56 stations in the river basins of Danube, Elbe, Ems, Rhine, and Weser. The data is freely available as a contribution and basis for the German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (DAS) via the DAS Core Service “Climate and Water". The basis are discharge projections from the Federal Institute of Hydrology, which are also freely available as part of the DAS Core Service (Fleischer et al., 2025). The latter are based on global and regional climate projections from various projects (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project No. 5 (CMIP5): Meehl and Bony, 2011; Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX): Jacob et al., 2014; ReKliEs-De: Hübener et al., 2017). The emission scenarios used also provide the basis for the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. An ensemble of 16 discharge projections for the high-emission scenario RCP8.5 was taken into account for the calculation of long-term changes in substance concentration. The relative concentration change is given in comparison to the reference period 1971-2000 as a 30-year moving average for the years 1971 to 2099. The underlying discharge is the lowest 7-day mean discharge of each year (in this case, from April to March), averaged over 30 years (indicator “MNM7Q”). ------------------------------------------------- Der Datensatz zeigt den langfristigen Einfluss einer durch den Klimawandel veränderten Wasserführung auf die Konzentration von Stoffen in Fließgewässern bei Niedrigwasser. Hintergrund ist die Verdünnungswirkung der im Fluss vorhandenen Wassermenge. Alle weiteren Einflussgrößen auf die Stoffkonzentration (z. B. eingetragene Stofffracht, Stofftransport und -abbau) wurden dabei vereinfachend als unverändert angenommen. Die Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde erzeugt die Ergebnisse mit Hilfe von numerischen Berechnungsverfahren für 56 Standorte in den Einzugsgebieten von Donau, Elbe, Ems, Rhein und Weser. Diese Daten stehen als Beitrag und Grundlage zur Deutschen Anpassungsstrategie an den Klimawandel (DAS) über den DAS-Basisdienst "Klima und Wasser" frei zugänglich zur Verfügung. Grundlage sind Abflussprojektionen der Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde, die ebenfalls im Rahmen des DAS-Basisdienstes frei verfügbar sind (Fleischer et al., 2025). Diese basieren ihrerseits auf globalen und regionalen Klimaprojektionen aus unterschiedlichen Projekten (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Nr. 5 (CMIP5): Meehl und Bony, 2011; Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (EURO-CORDEX): Jacob et al., 2014; ReKliEs-De: Hübener et al., 2017). Die verwendeten Emissionsszenarien liegen auch den Berichten des Weltklimarates zugrunde. Für die Berechnung der langfristigen Änderungen der Stoffkonzentration wurde ein Ensemble von 16 Abflussprojektionen für das Hochemissionsszenario RCP8.5 berücksichtigt. Angegeben ist die relative Konzentrationsänderung im Vergleich zum Referenzzeitraum 1971-2000 als 30-jähriger gleitender Mittelwert für die Jahre 1971 bis 2099. Die zugrunde liegende Abflussmenge entspricht dem niedrigsten über 7 Tage gemittelten Abfluss in jedem Jahr (hier Wasserhaushaltsjahr von April bis März), der jeweils über 30 Jahre gemittelt wurde (Kennwert "MNM7Q").
