Conclusion

Fast and easy parameterization in the catchment

and regional scale

Provision of reliable results for risk area detection

Quality enhancement compared to former area wide

model applications


22

Limitations


Result quality is strongly related to data quality

and data availability

Special issues need complex data aquisition,

data preprocessing and special model applications
