Résumé
Numerical models can be used to support the effective application of the Water Framework Directive (WFD, EU 2000). Their major advantage is to enable full characterization of the flow processes and contaminant transport pathways involved. Thanks to their predictive function, numerical models can help also to facilitate planning and management activities. However, many of the hydrological models developed to date are not able to deal with issues in multi-scale territorial planning (e.g. Bergez et al., 2012). FREEWAT (FREE and open source software tools for WATer resource management; Rossetto et al., 2015) is an EU HORIZON 2020 project, whose main goal is to simplify the application of EU water-related Directives. It aims to integrate a simulation platform in a Geographic Information System (GIS), coupling the power of GIS geo-processing and postprocessing tools in spatial data analysis with that of process-based simulation models. The resulting GIS-integrated FREEWAT platform will provide a modelling environment to simulate multiple hydrological processes, with a focus on the sustainable management of combined use of surface- and ground-water resources in rural environments. The FREEWAT platform is being developed within the QGIS free open-source software package and simulates the whole hydrological cycle using open-source numerical codes mainly belonging to the USGS MODFLOW family.
