Waterwijzer Module
Considerations
The Waterwijzer Overlay communicates with the Waterwijzer API to calculate the loss of earnings for agriculture crops based on the following parameters:
- A climate scenario;
- A weather station;
- Type of soil;
- Type of crop;
- Highest and lowest (averaged) ground water levels;
- The irrigation parameter, which in the Waterwijzer tool is active for a number of the crop types, is currently not taken into account.
Concept
Preliminaries:
- Generate a project for an area in the Netherlands using the Tygron Platform.
- The Dutch BRP geo-plugin retrieves the known agriculture plots. Each agriculture plot has an identification number for the type of plot, which is stored in the BRP_CODE attribute.
- The Dutch BRO geo-plugin retrieves the known soil types, stored as underground terrain. The simplified BOFEK_ID is configured by default for each terrain type of these terrain.
- The climate scenario and weather station are configured using the Waterwijzer Overlay Wizard
- The ground water levels can also be configured using the Waterwijzer Overlay Wizard. These ground water levels can be provided as:
- A geotiff containing ground water depths;
- A result type of the Subsidence Overlay; See high and low ground water depths.
- A result type of the Groundwater Overlay; See last ground water depth and max depth
