Abstract
Abstract. Land surface models such as the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES)
are increasingly used for hydrological assessments because of their
state-of-the-art representation of physical processes and versatility.
Unlike statistical models and AI models, the JULES model simulates the
physical water flux under given meteorological conditions, allowing us to
understand and investigate the cause and effect of environmental changes.
Here we explore the possibility of this approach using a case study in the
Atibaia River basin, which serves as a major water supply for metropolitan
regions of Campinas and São Paulo, Brazil. The watershed is suffering
increasing hydrological risks, which could be attributed to environmental
changes, such as urbanization and agricultural activity. The increasing
risks highlight the importance of evaluating the land surface processes of
the watershed systematically. We explore the use of local precipitation
collection in conjunction with data from a global meteorological reanalysis
to simulate the basin hydrology. Our results show that key hydrological
fluxes in the basin can be represented by the JULES model simulations.
