  • Description:
    The objective of the GISBLOOM project was to build capacity to ensure better integration of climate change into river basin management plans in Finland. It demonstrated an integrated model to quantify the effects of different climatechange scenarios to help tackle threats of eutrophication and algal blooms. The project sought to improve understanding of algal blooms and their responses to management measures in lakes and coastal areas, using an innovative combination of nationwide data and models for hydrology, land-use changes and nutrient loads, with the goals of formulating cost efficient programmes of management measures and generating real-time forecasts for algal blooming in river basins and lakes. The aim was to make this information available through an interactive web service.
