"Cyclones that produce high impact weather in the Mediterranean"




MEDEXMEDEX is part of the WMO- World
Weather Research Programme through its involvement in THORPEX. It has the support of more than 20 institutions. But it is not a financed project.

/21 countries / 4 proposer institutions, 31 participating institutions, 2 collaborator and advisor institutionsMedex general objective: Going to better understanding and improved forecast of Mediterranean severe storms, through better understanding and improved forecast of cyclones that produce severe storms (high impact weather).
MEDEX is designed to contribute to the better understanding and short-range forecasting of high impact weather events in the Mediterranean, mainly heavy rain and strong winds. Due to the supposed close relationship between high impact weather and cyclones, MEDEX will be focused to Mediterranean cyclones that produce high impact weather.
A dynamically oriented climatology of cyclones and high impact events is the first milestone of MEDEX. A second milestone will be the determination of sensitive areas where an observing effort will provide a more accurate prediction of Mediterranean cyclones, followed by impact analyses of additional data in these areas. From both, recommendations about the observing systems, data assimilation procedures and modelling and refined conceptual models for forecasters will arise.
In parallel, an evaluation of the societal impacts of the phenomena and of the benefits of forecasting accuracy improvements will be done.
The establishment of a Data Assimilation Mediterranean-oriented Centre (DAMC), including a data base centre and a data assimilation centre, is intended in order to provide facilities for numerical experiments and sensitive studies.
CroatiaSTUDY OF ANTHROPOGENIC POLLUTION AFTER THE WAR AND ESTABLISHING THE MEASURES FOR PROTECTION OF PLITVICE NATIONAL PARK AND BIHAÆ REGION AT THE BORDER AREA OF CROATIA AND BOSNIA – HERZEGOVINA




Anthropol.protFunded under: FP5-INCO 2
4 countries / 6 partnersThe objective of the project was the assessment of anthropogenic pollution after
the war events and its consequences to the karst ecosystem in a border zone between
Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, promoting the scientific-technical co-operation
between these countries and some Member Countries of the European Union.
The activities were focused on the hydrogeologically connected areas of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, including karstic fields (poljes) Korenièko, Lapaèko and Krbavsko, from the Croatian side, and the Una River catchment area in the Bihac region, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project was oriented towards the end users: local authorities, enterprises, national parks and non-governmental organizations in the area. Therefore, three specific case studies were chosen: on a tourist domain (National Park Plitvice Lakes), a municipality domain and an industry domain (Bihaæ area).
Data collected by partners, as well as analyses of collected samples, served as a background for elaborating a hydrogeological model and further modeling of intrinsic vulnerability, hazard and risk assessment of surface and groundwater resources in the area of transboundary aquifers. All these data, were incorporated into the Geographic Information System (GIS) and visualized and modeled through the ArcMap-ArcView software.
Groundwater flow dynamics, residence times, recharge rates and mixing between hydraulically connected aquifers from both countries, essential for the protection of karst water, were also studied by using natural and anthropogenic trace substances (isotopes).
On the basis of investigations performed during the period 2003-2005 several rehabilitation measures are suggested, primarily to the Bihaæ area, which suffered much during the war activities, like the inauguration of the continual monitoring of surface and groundwater, protection projects for water-supplying springs, making the land-register of pollutants and improvement of purification of waste waters from industrial facilities.

- Setup of a framework on national level in regard to legislation and national / regional institutional structures to be able to implement the strategy developed on transnational level smoothly after project duration to assure a long term impact of CC-WARE project.
- The extension of the promotion of implementing national activities for mitigating vulnerability of drinking water supply based on a jointly developed transnational strategy to the entire SEE area.
- The upmost dissemination of the gained knowledge regarding the strategy how to implement national action plans to relevant policy makers and stakeholder through consultations, workshops and publications.
Water resources are under increasing pressure originating from land use and climate changes. Climate changes studies for the SEE regions indicate an increase of mean annual temperature combined with decreasing precipitation.
To mitigate water resources vulnerability in the participating SEE countries, there is a need of a joint approach in SEE countries to promote national activities based on a common implementation strategy in order to fulfil the aims of EU regulations and strategies such as the EU2020 strategy, Danube Region Strategy, EU Water Framework Directive and White Paper on Adaption to Climate Change.
The main aim of CC-WARE is to develop an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and mitigating water resources vulnerability which builds the basis for an implementation of national and regional action plans.
Innovation will be given by the joint development of a methodology for risk assessment of drinking water resources under climate change. A risk map for drinking water resources in SEE region will be produced.

Programme: South East Europe (SEE)

€ 4,224.503,009 countries (AT, BG, GR, HR, HU, IT, RO, RS, SI) / 18 Project PartnersThe main objective of CC-WaterS is to safeguard water availability and safety for a sustainable water supply for citizens in different European regions under the influence of climate change, provoking land-use changes.
Specific objectives are to:
- identify and apply an adequate model in order to quantify CC on catchment scale by analysing water balances
- determine future drinking water availability considering climate and land use changes
- distinguishing among anthropogenic (land uses) and natural impacts (climate change) on water supply availability and safety
- develop appropriate technical measures and prepare the legislative basis to mitigate possible negative effects of climate and landuse changes on water supply management, etc. (other specific objectives can be found on the web page)
Climate change affects fresh water resources and may have significant influence on public drinking water supply. Land use activities exert pressure on water resources and will change according to climate change. It is crucial for safeguarding future water supply to anticipate these climate and land use changes and to assess their impacts on water resources.
CC-WaterS will make information applicable for concrete solutions, develop tools and instruments for public water supply and implement safeguarding measures.
The main result of CC-WaterS is a SEE water supply management system, regarding optimization of water extraction and land use restrictions under climate change scenarios for water suppliers in SEE.
CroatiaGroundwater management of coastal karstic aquifers (ESSEM COST Action 621)


/COST funds pan-European networks of scientists and researchers. These networks are called 'COST Actions'.

COST is supported by the EU RTD Framework Programme.
The overall cost has been estimated at ECU 6 million at 1996
prices.
12 countriesThe main objective of the Action is to increase the knowledge necessary to establish
criteria for improving groundwater resource utilization in karstic coastal
aquifers and for recovering groundwater resource in aquifers over-exploited and
salinized due to seawater intrusion.
The research themes that will be surely developed are: fresh water – salt water equilibrium; salinization processes in relation to either upconing or lateral intrusion: local and regional flow pathways of intruding sea water; glacio-eustatic oscillations of sea level and water-rock interactions as relevant in permeability variation studies; evaluation of the salinization hazard connected with exploitation; optimization of exploitation and reclaim of salinized karst aquifers.

Improvement of knowledge will make it possible to lay down guidelines for the best planning of safeguard and recovering actions of groundwater resources in karstic coastal aquifers, and to establish basic criteria to evaluate the salinization hazard connected with exploitation.
The adoption by decision-makers of the guidelines should induce clear economical benefits, avoiding dispersion of public funds in ineffective remedial.
Another important objective of the Action is to define an international network of investigation Centres and experts of salt water intrusion and related management problems of groundwater resources in karstic coastal aquifers.

EURO-AGRIWAT
COST funds pan-European networks of scientists and researchers. These networks are called 'COST Actions'.

COST is supported by the EU RTD Framework Programme.
The economic dimension of the activities has been estimated at 60 Million €.
34 countries

The main objective of the Action is to deliver integrated methodologies and databases for the
European wide assessment of water use and trade associated to key food and energy crops at
different spatial scales under current and future climatic conditions.
The COST Action EURO-AGRIWAT will focus on the assessment of water footprint (WF) and virtual water trade (VWT) of key food and no-food agricultural products, including their uncertainties, as well as scenarios concerning WF and VWT under future climatic conditions. The use of advanced tools and data such as remote sensing, updated climatic databases, climatic projections/scenarios and agrometeorological models represents the base of the activity. The use of such instruments will allow a detailed analysis of interactions between crops, climate and management that will be taken into account in the WF assessment. An important component of the Action will be the preparation and dissemination of recommendations and guidelines for enabling a more efficient water resource management in relation with agricultural activities under climate change and variability. The framework of a COST Action represents the most suitable way for facing the problem of sustainable water use, being characterized by a non-competitive and interdisciplinary environment of high scientific level. These features will allow a collaboration between scientists and stakeholders and the development of common strategies to broaden the available research expertise.

24 countries / partnership with about 400 scientistsHyMeX aims at a better understanding and quantification of the hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean, with emphasis on high-impact weather events, inter-annual to decadal variability of the Mediterranean coupled system, and associated trends in the context of global change.

HyMeX Objectives :
- Produce new long-term data-sets over the Mediterranean basin to: provide an accurate description of the water cycle and its variability and trend; understand how the Mediterranean water cycle processes contribute to the regional climate; validate the regional high-resolution oceanic, atmospheric and hydrological models and develop improved parameterizations.
- Develop methodologies and models in synergy with the field campaign in order to improve weather and seasonal prediction, regional climate studies, climate impact, and environmental research; perform regional climate change scenario.
- Assess the social and economic vulnerability to extreme events and adaptation capacity.
The hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean is a key environmental and socio-economic question for a wide region encompassing southern Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East. The lack of readiness and mitigation strategies could result in critical situations, in particular in case of extreme events and inadequate evaluation of climate change impacts.
Extreme weather events, regularly affect the Mediterranean region causing heavy damages and human loss. Progress has to be made in the monitoring and modelling of the Mediterranean hydrological continental cycle in order to better predict its impacts on water resources.
HyMeX Science is organized along five major research topics, each addressed in a dedicated Working Group (WG):
The water budget of the Mediterranean Sea (WG1); The continental hydrological cycle and related water resources (WG2); Heavy rainfalls, flash-floods and floods (WG3); Intense sea-atmosphere interactions (WG4); Societal and economic impacts (WG5).
The 1st and 2nd topic aim at better understanding and simulating the long-term water cycle over the Mediterranean basin through budget and trend analyses.
The 3rd and 4th topic aim at improving the knowledge and predictability of intense (extreme) events.
The 5th topic will address vulnerability questions and adaptation strategies in societies facing high-impact weather events.
The HyMeX programme foresees the monitoring of all relevant atmospheric, oceanic, hydrological and bio-chemical variables during a long observation period.

KATER IIINTERREG III B CADSES,
Supported by Means of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)
€ 3.246.400
4 (Austria,
Slovenia,
Croatia,
Italy) / 8 partners
The project aims at safeguarding water supply and the required, largely natural conditions of the catchment areas.
The objective of the project lies in developing and evaluating a GIS-based decision support system in order to quantify and assess the impact of land-use activities on the environment and water resources in karstic areas.
The project stands for the transnationally concerted preservation and management of sensitive mountainous karst regions essential for the
water supply of millions of inhabitants.

KATER II is based on the results of the KATER project, whose qualitative further development it constitutes.
In many countries, karstic areas are important and acutely essential for public water supply. These areas are at the same time highly sensitive and valuable natural environments. Conversely, exploitation pressure on these areas is increasing. This mainly relates to such fields as tourism, settlements, transport infrastructure, forestry and pasture management.
To facilitate and optimise the decision-making process relating to the problems of land use/water management/environmental protection, it seems useful to develop and implement a decision support system. Considerations derived from the results of the KATER project will be incorporated into a set of rules, referring on the one hand to data collection and on the other hand to technical implementation through software tools.
All these findings are to be implemented in the individual project territories.
Optimising the data collection process is part and at the same time a key output of the project.
Yet another central factor for the success of the project, lies in raising the level of awareness both amongst the public at large and amongst selected target groups.

SerbiaAssessment of the Impact of the Aerobic State on the Protection and Use of Intergranular AquifersSerbian Ministry of Science and Technological Development N/ASerbiaAssess the transformation of water quality under aerobic and anaerobic conditions; Define the dependence of well clogging on the aerobic level, the mineral composition of the aquifer, and the biochemical composition of water; Recommend optimum well-maintenance approaches; Examine well-regeneration methods; Study the effect of the aerobic state on the establishment of sanitary protection zones; Classify Serbia’s main aquifers and assess their water balance, use and protection.The aerobic state is one of the major factors which affect biochemical clogging of water wells and the transformation of groundwater quality. Assessments of the impact of the aerobic level on these processes reflect a new approach to the study of groundwater. In Serbia, drinking water supply generally relies on groundwater. Cities along rivers most often use water abstracted from shallow alluvial aquifers. At many groundwater abstraction sites, river water quality affects groundwater quality at the source, determines source protection measures, and often leads to water well capacity decline over time. Research and investigations have shown that a natural aerobic state is a reliable indicator of good groundwater abstraction conditions. An increase in aerobic level using artificial means is very useful for the maintenance of existing sources and the planning of future sources of drinking water supply.

ADRIPLANEuropean Commission – DG Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) under the theme "Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Mediterranean sea and/or the Black sea"1250000The ADRIPLAN project is implemented by 17 Partners from 4 countries of the Adriatic –Ionian Macroregion:  8 Scientific Partners and 9 Institutional Partners (inner circle). 17 Observers (outer circle) are also contributing to the project.ADRIPLAN aims to deliver a commonly-agreed approach to cross-border MSP in the Adriatic-Ionian region, considered as a whole and more specifically through two Focus Areas (Northern Adriatic Sea; Southern Adriatic / Northern Ionian Sea).

The proposed approach will be based on the best knowledge available, will be developed with the support of Institutional partners and observers and the involvement of all main stakeholders and will provide detailed recommendations for the evaluation of cross-border MSP. based on an integrated overall assessment (environmental, legal, administrative, economic and social) and taking into account multiple demands and potentials.

The ADRIPLAN project will improve the ongoing process to develop MSP in the region, to overcome barriers of full participation of all neighboring countries in the process and promote sound technically/scientifically based political decisions in order to promote a coherent transnational approach to the spatial planning of the marine seas.
Where? The study area is the Adriatic - Ionian Macroregion considered as a whole, zooming into two focus areas, one in the Northern Adriatic Sea and the other in Southern Adriatic Northern Ionian Sea. The project will be pivotal to improve the ongoing process to develop MSP in the Mediterranean and Black Sea.
How? by using the best knowledge available, by evaluating present and future potential conflicts and synergies among marine and maritime uses, by applying an ecosystem-based approach to the management of human activities, through the engagement of the Institutional partners and the Observers, through the effective interaction with the key stakeholders.

SloveniaProtection and Sustainable Use of the Dinaric Karst Transboundary Aquifer System project

DIKTASEU5,65M US$23The DIKTAS project is the first ever attempted globally to introduce sustainable integrated management principles in a transboundary karst freshwater aquifer of the magnitude of the Dinaric Karst System.At the global level the project aims at focusing the attention of the international community on the huge but vulnerable water resources contained in karst aquifers (carbonatic rock formations), which are widespread globally, but poorly understood. The Dinaric Karst Aquifer System, shared by several countries and one of the world’s largest, has been identified as an ideal opportunity for applying new and integrated management approaches to these unique freshwater resources and ecosystems.
At the regional level the project’s objectives are to:
Facilitate the equitable and sustainable utilization and management of the transboundary water resources of the Dinaric Karst Aquifer System, and
Protect from natural and man-made hazards, including climate change, the unique groundwater dependent ecosystems that characterize the Dinaric Karst region of the Balkan Peninsula.
These objectives, which aim to contribute to sustainable development of the region, are achieved through a concerted multi-country effort involving improvement in scientific understanding, the building of political consensus around key reforms and new policies, the enhanced coordination among countries, donors, projects and agencies, and the consolidation of national and international support.

It builds on the results of the Sustainable Aggregates Resource Management (SARMa) project.Assuring sustainable supply of aggregates is an important challenge due to their economic importance and the potential environmental and social impacts associated with their production. The SNAP-SEE project focuses on developing and disseminating tools for aggregates management planning in Southeast Europe (SEE). It builds on the results of the Sustainable Aggregates Resource Management (SARMa) project.Due to regional differences in historical development, there are diverse approaches to aggregates policies, planning and management in SEE, which is hindering resource efficiency and economic development in the region: differences among mineral policies; aggregates policies and plans are distributed among many different legal documents, making coordination and a comprehensive understanding difficult; authorities in SEE countries do not have the understanding of either sustainable aggregates resource management (SARM) or planning for sustainable supply mix (SSM) and there is almost a complete lack of coordination on planning supply from primary and secondary aggregates sources. The SNAP-SEE project is divided into 6 work packages. The following table depicts the duration of the work packages. The project will end in November 2014.
CroatiaSustainable Aggregates Resource Management SARMaSEE42278Aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) are crucial for infrastructure and construction. SEE countries are rich in aggregates, but supply is not coordinated within or across the area.The main objective of the project is to develop a common approach to (a) sustainable aggregate resource management (SARM) and (b) sustainable supply mix (SSM) planning, at three scales: regional, national and transnational.The project will build the foundation for a Regional Centre on sustainable aggregates management and supply.The two main objectives are: to develop a common approach to SARM across SEE, and ensure a SSM in SEE based on fair distribution of costs and benefits of aggregate production, use, waste disposal and recycling, so as to enhance resource and energy efficiency and quality of life. Objectives comprise: coordination in managing aggregate resources, increasing the transfer of know-how, and supporting capacity building in firms, government and civil society; develop a unified information infrastructure and common understanding of aggregates based on EU guidelines and directives, including those in protected areas, potential secondary supply, and transnational transportation networks; and to prepare for Regional Centre on SARM & SSM. Activities will connect institutional actors, decision makers, policy implementers, economic sector, quarry operators, civil society, and NGOs through workshops and targeted results.Local: a) Optimise the efficiency of primary aggregates production, b) prevent or minimize environmental impacts of quarrying and improve reclamation, c) minimize illegal quarrying by improving knowledge, d) promote recycling (construction, demolition & quarry waste), e) increase interested and affected groups’ capacity.Regional/national: a) assess and quantify aggregate resources and relevant transportation links, b) develop strategies for sustainably managing aggregate resources, including in protected areas, considering aggregate resources in land management and use planning, and harmonizing policies across regions, c) develop guidelines and procedures for SSM planning.Transnational: a) recommend methods for harmonizing SARM & SMM transregionally and transnationally, b) design a multi-purpose and multi-scale Aggregates Intelligence System (AIS) as a long-term tool for know-how transfer. Follow-up: prepare plan for a Regional Centre on SARM & SSM, to increase capacity of all interested and affected groups through workshops training and educational materials.

CroatiaGeochemical Atlas of Agricultural and Grazing Land Soils GEMASEuroGeoSurveys---The geochemical atlas of agricultural and grazing land soils is under preparation (GEMAS). This is essentially a follow-up project of the ‘Geochemical Atlas of Europe’, but concentrating on soil, and the reasons for carrying out this project follow. The administration of REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restrictions of Chemicals), the new European Chemicals Regulation adopted in December 2006, and the pending EU Soil Protection Directive, require additional knowledge about ‘soil quality’ at the European scale. REACH specifies that industry must prove that it can produce and use its substances safely. Risks, due to the exposure to a substance during production and use at the local, regional and European scale, all need to be reliably assessed. In contrast to human-made organic substances that do not occur naturally in the environment, all industries dealing with natural resources will face in the near future a number of specific questions.

GreeceManagement of water losses in a drinking water supply systemWATERLOSSMED Operational Programme1,846,788 €9 partners / 6 EU countriesWATERLOSS follows the EU Water Framework Directive to develop an integrated and sustainable water management policy, and to implement appropriate measures ensuring the conservation of water resources of sufficient quality. The target of WATERLOSS is the protection and enhancement of water resources. The means to achieve this target is the development of a methodology for the reduction of water losses in drinking water supply systems, leading to water saving activities. The project focuses on the integration of water loss reduction principles in the management plans of drinking water authorities, with particular attention to MED countries where water scarcity and low quality have became major issues during the last years.Project WATERLOSS aspires to the development of a methodology for control of non-revenue water in water supplies, by implementation of the following: establishment of water balance in water systems using GIS-based maps, preparation of a group of appropriate performance indicators using existing and new ones, development of a decision support tool aiming to a prioritized list of measures for controlling water losses, adapted to regional conditions, and certification of the methodology in a demonstration phase.
GreeceSustainable InteGral Management Approaches for Water areasSigma for WaterInterregional Cooperation Programme INTERREG IVC€ 2.5 million12 partnersThe project aims at development of new lakes and wetland areas which significantly increase water quality in the water system (increased capacity for clearing water in the system due to enlarged water surface and nature in the area) and make the water system more flexible in terms of quantity (increased retention capacity to store excess water and opportunity to tap from water in case of future shortage).The overall objective of the SIGMA for Water project is to improve the capacity of the partner regions for the development of new lakes and wetlands for climate change adaptation (in relation to water quantity) and to improve water and environmental quality of the involved regions. This will be done via interregional cooperation by means of jointly developing integrated master plans (in which water management issues play a vital role), and improving relevant regional policies in the field. This way the entire partnership which includes both knowledge institutes and public bodies, can benefit from already existing good practices, knowledge and experience and joint development of new plans resulting in a new best practices.
GreeceBringing the OpenMI to Life (Open Modeling Interface and Environment)OpenMILIFE Environment4,002,656.00 €12 partnersThe project's rationale lies in the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), which demands an integrated approach to water management. This requires an ability to predict the way catchment processes will interact. In most contexts, it is not feasible to build a single predictive model that adequately represents all the processes; therefore, there is a requirement for a means of linking models of individual processes. This is met by the FP5 HamonIT project's innovative solution, the Open Modelling Interface and Environment (the OpenMI).
The purpose of this project was to transform the OpenMI from research output to becoming a sustainable operational product. It aimed to build the capacity to use the OpenMI and to demonstrate it in real life situations. It would also demonstrate the technical support and co-ordination. Finally, information about OpenMI would be disseminated to users.
The OpenMI LIFE project set out to build on the extremely successful FP5 project HarmonIT. Under the HarmonIT, a number of European modellers had been brought together to design a prototype software that could link diverse models to provide reliable results. The project focused on the water environment, and specifically on the WFD, and on how to link water models to predict and understand how catchment processes interact. In this way, models developed by diverse organisations with different end-users in mind, that are working on different timeframes and dimensions can effectively talk to each other. The OpenMI LIFE project tested and evaluated the OpenMI under operational scenarios in two river basins: in the Netherlands and in Greece. A number of scenarios were used, for instance by linking sewage models and river models, or considering the effect of climate change on reservoir reliability. The testing of the software under operational circumstances highlighted key issues, such as making models compliant with OpenMI and problems with model stability once they were linked. The trials also highlighted the importance of providing adequate technical support. A key element of the project was to make the OpenMI open source, so modellers working independently on the project could make changes to the code, thus continuing to develop and strengthen the technology. This led to a number of revisions to the code, with the eventual release of a second version of OpenMI in December 2009, shortly before the end of the project.

GreeceMitigating Vulnerability of Water Resources under Climate ChangeCC-WARESEE Programme1826633,216The main objectives of the project CC-WARE are:
The development of an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and mitigating water resources vulnerability as basis for an implementation of national / regional action plans
Transfer of the achieved and developed knowledge and resulting measures into the regions and on local level to strengthen the institutional capacity and human resources at national, regional and local level Setup of a framework on national level in regard to legislation and national / regional institutional structures to be able to implement the strategy developed on transnational level smoothly after project duration to assure a long term impact of CC-WARE project The extension of the promotion of implementing national activities for mitigating vulnerability of drinking water supply based on a jointly developed transnational strategy to the entire SEE area with special regard to pre-accession countries The upmost dissemination of the gained knowledge regarding the strategy how to implement national action plans to relevant policy makers and stakeholder particularly of pre-accession countries through consultations, workshops and publications
Within the SEE regions quite different ecosystems provide these services. In higher elevation zones forests and sometimes grasslands store and filter the precipitation while in low land areas extended flood plains and wetlands are important. Some information about impacts of climate and land use changes are available for a few sites in the SEE region (CC-WaterS, SHARP) but until now no region wide classification of the vulnerability of drinking water resources is available. To mitigate water resources vulnerability in the participating SEE countries, there is a need of a joint approach in SEE countries to promote national activities based on a common implementation strategy in order to fulfil the aims of EU regulations and strategies such as the EU2020 strategy, Danube Region Strategy, EU Water Framework Directive and White Paper on Adaption to Climate Change. The main aim of CC-WARE is to develop an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and mitigating water resources vulnerability which builds the basis for an implementation of national and regional action plans
GreeceClimate Change and Impacts on Water SupplyCC-WaterSSEE Programme€ 4,224.503,0018the main objective of CC-WaterS is to safeguard water availability and safety for a sustainable water supply for citizens in different European regions for several decades under the influence of climate change, provoking land-use changes. Methods and instruments will be jointly developed to predict landuse change impacts on water supply. Measures to adapt water supply management to these changes will be proposed. In this respect specific objectives are to: - identify and apply an adequate model in order to quantify CC on catchment scale by analysing water balances - determine future drinking water availability considering climate and land use changes - distinguishing among anthropogenic (land uses) and natural impacts (climate change) on water supply availability and safety - develop common tools for risk assessment to secure drinking water supply under changing climate - develop appropriate technical measures and prepare the legislative basis to mitigate possible negative effects of climate and landuse changes on water supply management - develop a proposal for measures considering economic and social aspects - develop a water supply management system regarding optimisation of water extraction and land use restrictions under climate change scenarios for water suppliers in SEE - share experience in SEE region, raise awareness in the wider public and promote a common approach towards sustainable transnational water management - promote project achievements and propose measures to local authorities, and the public as water end-users.The water supply management sector has only started to take climate change into account. Current water management practices are likely to be inadequate to reduce impacts of climate change on water supply reliability. Therefore the main result of CC-WaterS is a SEE water supply management system, regarding optimization of water extraction and land use restrictions under climate change scenarios for water suppliers in SEE.
Further results of CC-WaterS accomplished activities are determination of imbalances based on different water demands information strategies for SEE public, policy makers and stakeholders about relation among ecosystem services, water treatment and costs
profit from best practices in land use for safeguarding recharge areas for future water supply for stakeholders and end users increased awareness of stakeholders and policy makers of relations between water supply management measures and socio-economic aspects
enhanced water suppliers’ crisis management sustainable national, regional and local water supply management practice in SEE future drinking water resources availability and safety.

GreeceRegional administration of lake restoration initiatives (LakeAdmin)LakeAdminInterregional Cooperation Programme INTERREG IVC1.8 million €8The key objectives of LakeAdmin are to:
• Improve the goal-setting and quality of lake restoration in regions that have acknowledged the importance of lakes in their economic development.
• Improve the effectiveness of regional development policies related to water management, especially in the field of lake, pond and reservoir restoration and management.
The economic values of clean and safe water are well established. Lakes, ponds and reservoirs provide water for drinking, irrigation, recreation, fish, natural and cultural values and other ecosystem services. However, despite remarkable investments in wastewater treatment, the quality of many waters is still affected by internal and external factors such as sediments, agriculture and other diffuse sources. These problems can be tackled by lake management and restoration measures.
LakeAdmin follows up on the INTERREG IIIC North project LakePromo, which in 2004-2007 presented an overview of lake restoration practices. However, in planning concrete measures the LakeAdmin partners see a need to review the experiences of case studies in more detail.
