Main results

A1: Knowledge of the Basin

  1. Increased Knowledge: Detailed information on the different variables associated with the hydrological cycle, quantifying the impact of climate change on water resources in short, medium and long-term future scenarios, obtaining patterns of future behaviour.
  2. New Stations: 17 new monitoring stations, including 10 hydrometric, 5 meteorological and 2 water quality stations.

A3: Flood Analysis

  1. Knowledge Enhancement: Deepening understanding of the effects of climate change on future floods.
  2. Improvements in decision support and forecasting systems: Improving flood early warning systems, including integration into basin organisations' automatic systems.

A2: Drought Analysis

  1. Tools to facilitate Decision Making: New tools for the prevention of impacts caused by prolonged drought and cyclical shortages.
  2. Diagnostic system: Establishment of a common system for cross-border diagnosis of drought and short-term shortage scenarios, based on state indices and hydrometeorological indicators.

A4: Mitigation and Adaptation of Socio-economic Impact

  1. Knowledge Enhancement: Broadening the understanding of the impact of floods and droughts on people, ecosystems and socio-economic sectors.
  2. Programme of Measures: Developing a programme of measures to mitigate, adapt and increase resilience to extreme events and their socio-economic impact.
  3. Socio-Economic Assessment: Carrying out a socio-economic impact assessment, through a cost/benefit analysis of the measures outlined above.
