Apulian Aqueduct demo site: daily time series of simulated system behavior for future inflows conditions (RCP8.5)

This dataset contains the daily time series obtained from the strategic model simulation, considering net estimated inflows (natural springs and main reservoirs of Apulian aqueduct - demo site 1) considering climate projection RCP 8.5 and two decades, in the medium (2050-2059) and long-term future (2090-2099). In all simulations, a modified version of the drinking water demand is considered, following a different distribution of the populations, an increase in density in coastal areas also due to investments in the tourism sector, to the detriment of density in inland areas.

In two simulations the current drinking water demand is considered, with or without the environmental flow constraint acting on each reservoir release activated.

In the remaining simulations, a modified version of the drinking water demand is considered, following a different distribution of the populations, an increase in density in coastal areas also due to investments in the tourism sector, to the detriment of density in inland areas.

For each decade, two simulations are performed, with or without the rehabilitation of some well-fields making the water withdrawn drinkable with innovative purification techniques.

. More precisely, the dataset contains:

• the daily level of the main reservoirs;
• the water supplied to all users (drinking water users, irrigation, and industrial districts) from each reservoir;
• the corresponding single irrigation and industrial deficit;
• the total drinking water deficit;
• the aggregated distribution cost.

Two simulations are performed, with or without the environmental flow constraint acting on each reservoir release activated.

• Temporal coverage: 2050-2059; 2090-2099
• Spatial coverage:
  • Springs: Sele, Calore;
  • Reservoirs: Conza, Locone, Monte Cotugno, Occhito, Pertusillo;
  • Users: drinking water users, irrigation, and industrial districts supplied by Apulian aqueduct.
• Unit of measure: m, m3/s depending on the variable
