  • Description:
    The project objective was to support local authoritiesā€™ flood risk management at the river basin level. A River Management Plan would be elaborated for the Timis-Bega River Basin, as the demonstration area. The overall approach was to be based on scientific knowledge of structural and non-structural measures, in line with the Water Framework Directive. The project would specifically focus on the development of a water monitoring system and mathematical models for predicting floods. A system of public consultation and information was also to be set-up. The project aimed to present information in a ā€œnegotiableā€ form: tradable water volumes, and/or land uses, between the different communities and owners living all along the rivers.
