Itter CatchmentAboutA long standing drawback of GREAT-ER was the lack of a really free distributable geographic data set. To overcome this with GREAT-ER II CEFIC LRI contracted for the digitization of a catchment. The Itter catchment has been choosen since it is small but validated. Its applicability for environmental modelling has been proven by various publications.The Itter CatchmentThe Itter is a small tributary to the Rhine in a region of high population density. The source is located in Solingen, 20 kilometers downstream the Itter meets the Rhine (in Duesseldorf-Benrath). A mayor tributary to the Itter is the Lochbach.The Itter drains waste water of approximately 150,000 persons plus industrial waste water discharged from three municipal treatment plants. At low flow approximately 80 percent of the water flow are coming from the STPs. The contribution of the Itter to the Rhine is about 0.7 m^3/s (at low flow).
The Geographic DataThe catchment boundary was generated by Dr. Carsten Schulze during his Diplomarbeit at the Institute of Environmental Systems Research (USF) at the University of Osnabrueck joined with Henkel KGaA, Duesseldorf. Thankworthy the data was made freely available. Also the attribute data has been provided by this work.The discharge sites and the river network have been digitised by Intevation GmbH on behalf of CEFIC LRI. Based on aerial photos provided by the Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband (BRW) the river network has been created using GRASS. The discharge - stretch link layer finally has been generated automatically by the GREAT-ER II pre-processing. While the data is provided in geographic coordinates, an appropriate map projection for presentation is "Gauss-Krger Zone 2". See the files itter.thuban or itter.prj (distributed with the data) for details. DownloadThe shapefile version can be downloaded directly: itter-catchment-1.0.0.zip [33 Kb] / itter-catchment-1.0.0.tar.gz [33 Kb]The source files (ie. text-formats) are part of the GREAT-ER pre-processing package.
