A new research paper, “Flood Modelling of the Zhabay River Basin Under Climate Change Conditions” has been published in the JCR and Scopus-indexed HYDROLOGY journal. The full version of the manuscript can be downloaded for free here.
This work has been leaded by Aliya Nurbatsina (Institute of Geography and Water Security, Almaty, Kazakhstan), in cooperation with researchers from the Al Farabi Kazakh National University, and the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), among other institutions. This study applies the Soil and Water Integrated Model (SWIM) to project climate-driven changes in the hydrological regime of the Zhabay River.
The study employs a process-based, high-resolution hydrological model to simulate flood dynamics under future climate conditions.The outcomes of this study offer crucial insights for policymakers, hydrologists, and disaster management agencies in mitigating the adverse effects of climate-induced hydrological extremes in Kazakhstan.
