This report is part of the GIZ-commissioned project "Nile Basin wetlands of transboundary significance: Inventory, Baseline Study and Framework Management Plan with a nested case study on the Sudd". 

WP2, Wetland modelling, has three main objectives: 

1. Improving NileDSS Hydrology: The wetland hydrology currently implemented in the NileDSS has to be improved and extended with models where needed. 
2. Wetland Impact: Provide a link between inflows (flow or precipitation) and extent of the Wetland Units. This is the basis for assessing wetland changes under future management or climate scenarios. 
3. Sudd diagnostic study: Detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modelling is carried out for the Sudd to obtain a detailed and robust model that can be implemented in the NileDSS and that improves the process knowledge and enables impact simulations of the Sudd. 

This report contains the methodology and results to fulfil objective (1).
