National (Great Britain) Recharge Model climate change runs - 11 regional climate models

The data are the gridded recharge values obtained from the BGS distributed recharge model (ZOODRM) driven by 11 Ensembles of the HaDCM3 Regional Climate Model (RCM) taken from the Future Flow and Groundwater Level data set (http://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/future-flows-and-groundwater-levels). The model covers the mainland areas of England, Scotland and Wales. The 11 ensembles are run from January 1950 to December 2099. The dataset themselves are the gridded (2 km by 2 km) outputs from the recharge model averaged over four time horizons: historical, 20s, 50s, and 80s, for each of the 11 ensembles. The results can be used to assess the impact of climate change on potential recharge (soil drainage) for catchments in mainland England, Scotland and Wales.

Statement: The recharge model ZOODRM (nora.nerc.ac.uk/12633/) was run using rainfall and Potential Evaporation derived from the Future Flow and Groundwater Level Dataset (http://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/future-flows-and-groundwater-levels). The model was run from 1/1/1950 to 31/12/2099 and potential recharge produced on a gridded basis (2km by 2km) for each of the 11 RCMs. Other input data includes land use, soil type, DEM (topography) and geology. The recharge model outputs are calculated on a daily basis and then amalgamated to average values over four time horizons defined as: historical (1950 – 2009), 20s (2010 – 2039), 50s (2040 – 2069), 80s (2070 – 2099)
