Catchment Baseline Modelling
(CBM)
Full integration
Broad scale
Full coupling
Spatial aggregation
Identification of processes
Identification of interactions
Regional Modelling (OM)
One or more focused
process models
Scale, aggregation and coupling
depends on each case.
Local Modelling (LM)
Generally full coupling
Reduced scale
Generally nesting to one of the
operational models
Catchment Modelling (CM)
Broad scale
Analysis of the impact of
measures at the basin level

of application of the Framework for
Catchment Modelling Studies (FCMS)

Model conceptualization
Identification of catchment theme and
modelling theme for the project
Establish the relationships between the
project objectives, the disciplines involved
and the modelling requirements necessary to
support decision-making at all stages of the
project.
This involves identifying and summarizing the
issues that will drive and condition development
of the modelling strategy. For example, in the case
of the R´o Salado Basin, groundwater-induced
