We present PCR-GLOBWB 2, a global
hydrology and water resources model. Compared to previous versions of
PCR-GLOBWB, this version fully integrates water use. Sector-specific water
demand, groundwater and surface water withdrawal, water consumption, and
return flows are dynamically calculated at every time step and interact
directly with the simulated hydrology. PCR-GLOBWB 2 has been fully rewritten
in Python and PCRaster Python and has a modular structure, allowing easier
replacement, maintenance, and development of model components. PCR-GLOBWB 2
has been implemented at 5 arcmin resolution, but a version parameterized at
30 arcmin resolution is also available. Both versions are available as
open-source codes on https://github.com/UU-Hydro/PCR-GLOBWB_model
(Sutanudjaja et al., 2017a). PCR-GLOBWB 2 has its own routines for
groundwater dynamics and surface water routing. These relatively simple
routines can alternatively be replaced by dynamically coupling PCR-GLOBWB 2
to a global two-layer groundwater model and 1-D–2-D hydrodynamic models.
Here, we describe the main components of t...
