Description:
The project aimed to demonstrate a methodology implementing water management at river basin level involving relevant stakeholders in three Italian pilot river catchments. This would indicate the economic and technical viability of the methodology in supporting the New Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC of 23 October 2000. A further objective was widening application of the Integrated Catchment Simulator (ICS) to conditions in Central and Southern Italy as well as other European Mediterranean regions. The project also aimed to improve water stakeholder capacities by transferring innovative modelling and monitoring technologies. The project’s expected results included: - Stakeholder agreement on joint action to improve water quality in pilot river basins in compliance with the WFD; - Quantification of urban pollution loads into the pilot rivers and definition of measures to lower impacts on the water quality and quantity; - Adaptation and validation of the ICS in the pilot basins and promotion of ICS use by new end-users and other river basins in Italy and Europe; - Establishing monitoring and modelling systems at pilot sites; - Provision of guidelines to enhance water management at pilot river districts taking into account specific socio-economic and environmental conditions.
