Adaptive Management of Barriers in European Rivers (AMBER)
Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2020,
Rivers rank among some of the most threatened ecosystems in the world, and are the focus of costly restoration programmes that cost billions to taxpayers. Much of Europe depends on water from rivers for drinking, food production, and the generation of hydropower, which is essential for meeting the EU renewable energy target. Yet only half the EU surface waters have met the WFD’s 2015 target of goo ...

NAture Insurance value: Assessment and Demonstration (NAIAD)
Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2019,
NAIAD aims to operationalise the insurance value of ecosystems to reduce the human and economic cost of risks associated with water (floods and drought) by developing and testing - with key insurers and municipalities - the concepts, tools, applications and instruments (business models) necessary for its mainstreaming. We will do this in detail for 8 demonstration sites (DEMOs) throughout Europe a ...

ECOtones for Reducing Diffusion Pollution (EKOROB)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Background
The main causes of eutrophication of water bodies are discharges of polluting substances, mainly nutrients: nitrogen and phosphorus, from both point sources (e.g. sewage treatment plants) and diffuse sources. The diffuse sources of pollution are nowadays estimated to account for 50% of the runoff of nutrient compounds from the territory of Pola ...
