Introduction
General Motivation
• Mountains Region are considered particularly vulnerable to CC 1, esp.
considering the alterations of the water cycle 2
• Complex topography scale vs. computational effort
Aims
• temporal & spatial investigation of climate change impact on
evapotranspiration and soil moisture in a dry alpine valley
• Identify topographic/landcover characteristics of esp. vulnerable
regions

Conclusion & Outlook
23
Conclusion
• General decrease in snow cover duration which drive major
increase in evapotraspiration in winter and spring
• Specific sites, which are already characterized by water
stress, show an increase in drought days
Future work
• Sensetivity of lateral water fluxes
• Dynamic vegetation
• Improve soil parameterization
