| Implementation
Plan for Activity 2 |
| 2.1
Assemble the dataframe required for the application of the VIC hydrology model to the Mekong river drainage basin (and Mae
Chaem/Ping, and conceivably to Chao Phrya). |
| 2.2. Assemble the dataframe required for the model application in Northern Thailand, focusing on VIC and exploring the advantages and feasibility of
DHSVM. |
|
2.3
Provide model simulations on both dataframes (using the respective model) over a standard climatology and either a "standard" rainfall, or a "typical actual rainfall record"
(ie. last 10 years).
|
|
2.
4. Produce modeled output with landcover alterations of forested landscapes at various degrees and in different upland and floodplain configuration so as to simulate a range of landuse change scenarios.
|
2.
5. Report the results of all model simulations in terms of:
· total yield by time at locations upstream from major urban centers and at the coastal zone,
· seasonal variability of total flow related to seasonality of the simulated rainfall data,
· duration of storm events effects on stage height at location upstream from major urban centers.

| Description |
The
focus of the work here is to take the basic model analyses (climatology,
scale, soils) from Activity 3, and run with different vegetation covers. |
| Status |
The
timetable for Activity 2.4 is summarized
in Table 5. We are starting
to develop the scenarios themselves.
|
| Scope
|
The
scope is the Mekong Basin (per Activities
2.1)
and the Mae Chaem basin (Activity
2.2).
Only as time permits, will we include the Chao Phrya |
| Scale
(Resolution) |
|
|
Methods
|
The
methodology is to substitute different landcover scenarios (from Activities
2.1 and 2.2) into the basic modeling
framework (Activity 2.3).
|
|
Inputs |
Activity
2.3 provides the primary
inputs for this work.
|
|
Output |
The
output will be model runs under the different landcover scenarios, which
will (presumably) give us insight into how landcover change would effect
water flow, both near-field and far-field.
