abstract = {Study region: The Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia
(NRW), Germany.Study focus: On behalf of the Federal State
Agency for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection of
North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany (LANUV) the mGROWA model is
applied, in order to simulate the water balance components
actual evapotranspiration, total runoff, direct runoff and
groundwater recharge at Federal State level.
mGROWA-simulations were performed in daily time steps for
the hydrological reference period 1971–2000 and in a
spatial resolution of 100 by 100 m. mGROWA results for
groundwater recharge and State-wide recorded groundwater
withdrawal rates have been used to assess the extent of
groundwater exploitation in NRW.New hydrological insights:
Simulated groundwater recharge levels are presented as
long-term annual averages and as long-term monthly values in
order to indicate the seasonal fluctuation of groundwater
recharge rates. Quantitative statistics indicate that mGROWA
enables the simulation of total runoff and groundwater
recharge without significant tendency of over- or
underestimation. Against this background mGROWA simulation
results are used by LANUV to support regional water
resources management, e.g. for determining the status of
groundwater exploitation in NRW. The majority of groundwater
bodies in NRW are at present not at risk of unsustainable
groundwater usage. A small number of groundwater bodies
along the river Rhine, however, have been assessed as being
close to unsustainable groundwater exploitation.},
