Job Description
The project will evaluate supply-side and demand-side interventions to ensure water supply security in Denmark. We will develop an integrated optimization model, combining the GEUS National Hydrological Model, the Jupiter database of the water supply infrastructure, new water supply options, and models of water users to find adaptation options. We will use this new planning and decision support tool to evaluate portfolios of infrastructure investments and policy changes under different climate and socioeconomic scenarios, and to find optimal, cost-effective, and robust adaptation options which ensure safety, reliability, resilience, sustainability, and climate robustness of the Danish water supply system to 2050.
