) in 1956. During that time that ambitions of utilizing hydropower had changed from providing the public and
the sectors with electricity to aim for a large-scale utilization of hydropower for energy intensive industries. This came
to fruition in 1969 with the first aluminium smelter in Iceland. Today, energy intensive industry matches fisheries as a
key income sector for Icelandic society.

The hydrological simulations were performed with the Wa-
tershed Simulation and Forecasting System (WSFS) developed
and operated in the Finnish Environment Institute (Vehviläinen
et al., 2005). The WSFS is used in Finland for operational hydrolog-
ical forecasting and flood warnings (www.environment.fi/water-
forecast/), regulation planning and research purposes

Greenland and Antarctica appear to be driven by changes in basal sliding that are most likely
caused by variations in the amount and pressure of basal water. As a part of lidar mapping of
the surface of glaciers and ice caps in Iceland 2008–2012, some source areas for jökulhlaups
(glacier outburst floods) have been surveyed more than once. These include the Skaftá

uncertainties, as well as some hydrological engineering aspects.
1. Wind-caused undercatch of rainfall by rain gauges.
2. Differences in accumulated precipitation over fixed intervals; for instance, 24-hour
periods from midnight to midnight (referred to here as daily values), or from 09:00 to
09:00 the following day, in comparison to precipitation accumulated over a constantly
sliding 24-hour window
