About

Miguel Ángel Pérez Martín (1974), Associate Professor at Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain -UPV- (Polytechnic University of Valencia). Researches and teaches in the area of planning and management water resources, the hydrological modelling and quality water for large catchments, the Climate Change Impact on water resources and the use of renewable energies combined with water management. Civil Engineer (2000) and PhD in Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering (2005) by the UPV. Teaches at Civil Engineering School since year 2001: Water Resources Planning and Management and Renewable energies, and Models to evaluate the effects of Climate Change on Water Resources in the PhD Hydraulic and environmental engineering. Research at the Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering in the areas of: hydrological modelling and nitrate transport on aquifers and surface water for large basins that is applied to all Spanish basins, in the water management in drought conditions, in the climate change effects on water resources systems, and in the combined use of photovoltaic systems with water pumping or desalination. Web of Science ResearcherID (J-1565-2012), h-index 11 and more than 20 publications. Author of the PATRICAL model that is a tool for the mathematical modelling of the hydrologic cycle and the quality of water for large basins, that has been applied at Jucar river basin (2005) and the whole Spanish basins (2008). The module PATRICAL allows build simulation models to know water flows and nitrate concentration in water, in surface water and groundwater. The hydrologic models are spatially distributed, and its results are the water flows that are produced in the different points of the basin and the piezometric levels on aquifers, in addition, includes the simulation of the nitrate transport on water in the soil, in the non-saturated zone, in aquifers and in surface waters.
