|Description=The [[LPJmL model|LPJmL model]] simulates the global carbon and water balances as part of the dynamics of natural vegetation and agricultural production systems. Because of the coupling of LPJmL to IMAGE, the carbon cycle, natural vegetation, crop production ([[Natural vegetation and carbon cycle]] and [[Crop and grass]]), land-use allocation ([[Forest management]]) and hydrology can be modelled in a consistent way. | |Description=The [[LPJmL model|LPJmL model]] simulates the global carbon and water balances as part of the dynamics of natural vegetation and agricultural production systems.

In the LPJmL model, the water needed in other sectors is extracted from local surface waters, if available (rather than from reservoirs). Meeting the demand from these sectors receives priority over water withdrawal for irrigation. | In the LPJmL model, the water needed in other sectors is extracted from local surface waters, if available (rather than from reservoirs).

The current version of IMAGE-LPJmL does not take into account the water needs of ecosystems, or other uses, such as shipping or recreation. However, a new module to calculate environmental flow requirements is under development ([[Pastor et al., | The current version of IMAGE-LPJmL does not take into account the water needs of ecosystems, or other uses, such as shipping or recreation. However, a new module to calculate environmental flow requirements is under development ([[Pastor et al., submitted]]). By using this module, water withdrawals will be constrained so that a minimal environmental flow is guaranteed, and the module also will be used to identify possible areas of conflict between water users. | ||
