| BINGO at EGU 2018 |
| |
|
| |
BINGO was present at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2018, in April 8-12 in Vienna!
Henning Rust (FUB) and Tim aus der Beek (IWW) from BINGO have joined up with the project IMPREX to co-host session on "From sub-seasonal forecasting to climate projections: predicting hydrologic extremes and servicing water managers (co-organized)". In this session, the BINGO team had the following papers:
- A classification algorithm for selective dynamical downscaling of precipitation extremes - check out the poster here - Edmund Meredith, Henning W. Rust, and Uwe Ulbrich
|
|
|
| |
|
- Comparison of two stochastic methods for disintegrating daily precipitation to a sub-hourly series - check out the poster here - Erle Kristvik, Ashenafi Seifu Gragne, Tone Merete Muthanna, and Komlan A. Kpogo-Nuwoklo
- Decadal predictions for the Wupper River Basin, Germany – Hydrological impacts - Tim aus der Beek, Paula Lorza, Marc Scheibel, Rike Becker, and Martin Nottebohm
- Long-term variability and extreme rainfall response of runoff and baseflow processes in Cyprus - Ioannis Sofokleous, Adriana Bruggeman, Corrado Camera, and Georgios Zittis
The event had a total of 15,075 scientists from 106 countries and it was not only a great way to share our results, but also to meet and discuss with other scientists and academics, creating new synergies and promoting the sharing of knowledge.
Thank you to all the BINGO and IMPREX teams for the excellent team-work to make this session happen!

| Cyprus team at International Conference “Climate Change in the Mediterranean and the Middle East: Challenges and Solutions” |
| |
The Cyprus Institute team participated in the International Conference “Climate Change in the Mediterranean and the Middle East: Challenges and Solutions”, 18-19 May 2018. It was a very good opportunity to disseminate BINGO to a high level audience through a poster presentation entitled “Design of climate change adaptation strategies for agriculture and domestic water supply in Cyprus through a participatory approach”.
The event was organised under the Aegis of the President of the Republic of Cyprus, H.E. Mr. Nicos Anastasiades, and with the support of the European Commission Representation in Cyprus. The conference was attended by more than 300 delegates from 35 countries, including leading international scientific and political personalities. |

| BRIGAID Conference |
| |
|
| |
The coordination of BINGO was present at the workshop of the project BRIGAID, in Mafra (Portugal) in April 20.
BRIGAID is a project that proposes "to provide integral support for innovations for climate adaptation, focusing on climate-driven disasters like floods, droughts and extreme weather". The workshop in Mafra was aimed at end users, presenting several pitches from innovations in the area of disaster resilience as well as presentation from end users themselves - BINGO included! The workshop also provided a field visit to the Montemuro village, where the Forrest Engineer explained the role of prescribed fires in the prevention of wild fires. |

|
| |
|
During the event, Eng. Rafaela Matos presented BINGO to the audience and many interesting synergies between projects have been discussed. Many more interactions between our two projects are expected, to add value to both our results!

| BINGO at the 8th World Water Forum in Brasília! |
| |
BINGO was part of the portfolio of R&I projects in display at the Portugal Pavilion!
The Portugal Pavilion has been formerly inaugurated by the Minister of Environmental of Portugal, the Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Portugal, the Secretary of State of the Environment of Portugal, the Ambassador of Portugal in Brazil and a group of 7 Members of the Parliament of Portugal. A delegation of around 80 Portuguese experts was present, as well as several invited international delegates.
BINGO coordinator, Rafaela Matos from LNEC, represented the project in this event and in two panels:
- Hydro-climatic risk in land planning and management.
- Water and climate change in Europe: the tip of the iceberg

| Additional Stakeholder meeting in Wuppertal – in the midst of severe floods |
| |
 |
|
| |
Just before stakeholders from the Wuppertal case study area met at the regional water board to discuss how to evaluate hot spots in the city endangered by urban flash floods and how to organize adaptation measures, severe rainfall hit the city. Roads have been flooded, roofs broke down and there was considerable material damage. Luckily, there were no severe physical injuries registered. These heavy rainfall events emphasised once more the importance of our BINGO project.
Within the meeting, the evaluation of most critical hot spots in the city was discussed by representatives of the regional municipality, public authorities, responsible partners for the sewage network and urban water courses. The plan for the next months is to evaluate the damage potential at these hot spots from different perspectives (using multiple indicators) as well as to rank future adaptation measures to reduce the risk in the city of Wuppertal for future flood events. At the next meeting early in July, the weighting of different indicators to assess the damage potential will be set together with the stakeholders.
The case itself will focus on the urban water way called "Mirker Bach" at first, dealing with around a dozen hot spots and necessary adaptation measures. Results will support the municipality in climate change adaptation and will hopefully be transferable to more locations in and around Wuppertal. |

 The BINGO thinking of climate change now needs to be rooted in water utilities Europewide and beyond” |
|

Now is the time to start bringing to cities and communities in Europe and the rest of the world the vast outcomes from BINGO on modelling the impact of climate change for water resources and floods, and organising the changed governance through the Communities of Practice method |

Hi there! I am Eduardo, Project Manager at Cetaqua Water Technology Centre, and also a BINGO member.
In strong collaboration with Aquatec (Badalona, Spain, site leader), Cetaqua is carrying out the risks assessments due to climate impacts the city faces. My particular view, since I became a BINGO member, is that we are really contributing to increase resilience of European cities by developing methodologies and tools to assess risks. This leads us to understand how these climate hazards (today’s and future’s) may affect our cities, and lets us to propose adaptation strategies and look ahead to the future with confidence.

WP3 – D3.4
Model results for water and land use scenarios at the six research sites completed and analysed
|
| |
| |
| |
More than 20 hydrological models have been applied, driven with climatic decadal predictions until 2024. The results will be used by stakeholders, such as water providers and managers, local authorities, and others in order to be prepared for and to cope with near time climate change effects. Furthermore, these model results on future water resources availability and extremes are used by WP4, which will conduct case sensitive risk analysis.
The model results have been described in detail in D3.4, focusing on multiple water related problems and scales, such as flooding by combined sewer overflows in Badalona, Spain and Bergen, Norway, changes in groundwater recharge for drinking water abstraction in the Veluwe, the Netherlands, altered reservoir management in the Wupper river basin, Germany and in Bergen, Norway, drought problems in Cyprus, and increasing salinization in Portugal.
The model applications have also showed that in some cases anticipated land use and water use changes can have large impacts on water resources, especially in combination with climate change effects, such as increases in floods and droughts. An example for this is illustrated in the inundation maps below for the perennial Pedieos River in Nicosia, Cyprus which also considered land use changes. |
