Furthermore he gaveme the opportunity to learn lots about environmental modelling on a thematically, as wellas technically sophisticated level. Besides the professional support he gave me, I wouldalso like to thank him for his personal competence, mostly in amusing (extra-professional)conversations on the balcony.This thesis was carried out within the project Global Change and the Hydrological Cycle(GLOWA)-Danube, therefore I would like to express my gratitude to the German Ministry ofResearch and Education (BMBF), which funded the project. Thanks to various organisations,lots of data have been provided, which supported this study.
