Short Summary

The study developed a high-resolution hydrological model of the Ukrainian Watershed using the SWAT model and integrated it into a FAIR-compliant web interface ('Land & Water') to support water resource management and post-war reconstruction.

Objective

• To create a high-resolution decision-support tool for assessing water balance and managing water ecosystems across Ukraine's major river basins.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Ukrainian Watershed, covering nine major river basins with a total area of 873,600 km².
• Temporal Scale: Not specified.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool).
• Data sources: Not specified in the provided text.

Main Results

• Developed the 'Land & Water' interactive web interface, allowing public access to model inputs and outputs based on FAIR principles.
• Implemented a multifaceted calibration approach (combining soft and hard methods) to accurately model surface, lateral, and groundwater dynamics.
• Generated critical data estimates for transboundary river discharge, groundwater flow surrounding the Kakhovka reservoir, and transpiration/crop growth for irrigation assessment.

Contributions

• Fills critical data gaps in Ukrainian hydrology by providing a high-resolution dataset and a transparent, accessible tool for both experts and non-experts.
• Supports the large-scale reconstruction of water resources, climate adaptation, and sustainable agricultural planning in Ukraine.
