Water Balance 2022: Urban Hydrology Model Parameters

Water balance variables for 2022 derived from the ABIMO model as part of the AMAREX research project. The data includes separate parameters for precipitation evaporation and precipitation seepage. It is published by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie and uses the City and Environment Information System (ISU5) spatial reference from 2020.

Use Cases

• Model urban water balance based on ABIMO model input parameters.
• Analyze precipitation evaporation and seepage separately for hydrological studies.
• Support research on adapting rainwater management to extreme events, as part of the AMAREX project.
• Integrate geospatial water balance data into urban environmental information systems.

Strengths

• Data is based on the established ABIMO hydrological model.
• Separates key water balance components like precipitation evaporation and seepage.
• Part of a formal research project (AMAREX) focused on extreme event adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
