Assessing subsurface potentials of the Alpine Foreland Basins for sustainable planning and use of natural resources (GeoMol)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Jun 29, 2015,

To meet the EU’s ambitious targets for carbon emission reduction, renewable energy production must strongly be upgraded and made more efficient and capable for grid energy storage. Alpine Foreland Basins feature a unique geological inventory which can contribute substantially to tackle these challenges. Deep ‘Molasse’ basins at the fringe of the Alpine mountain range offer an abundant geothermal p ...

Conservation and management of freshwater wetlands in Slovenia (WETMAN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Feb 1, 2015,

Background In Slovenia, a lack of appropriate management over the last 50 years has led to wetland loss and degradation. During this period many wetland areas were modified and drainage systems were constructed, especially for agricultural land and forests. Between 1973 and 1991, more than 70 000 ha of lowlands were drained. In addition, flood control sch ...

Alpine space In Movement, targeted to water & energy capitalization (AIM)

Start date: Sep 30, 2013, End date: Dec 30, 2014,

The project Alpine space In Movement (AIM) aims at becoming a “megaphone” of the Alpine Space Programme (ASP) projects active in the field of water & renewable energy. AIM will capitalise on the achievements of the numerous ASP projects dedicated to the promotion of energy production from renewables and on the optimization of water resource exploitation. The importance of the issue was highlighted ...

Sustainable Integrated Management of International River Corridors in SEE Countries  (SEE RIVER)

Start date: Sep 30, 2012, End date: Sep 29, 2014,

Rivers in SEE region are often threatened by unsustainable use, increasing human pressure, and problems of increased floods and droughts driven by climate change. Inhabitation of floodplain areas, hydropower utilization, navigation, gravel and sand extraction, unsustainable tourism etc. lead to changes in morphology, increased pollution, degradation of aquatic habitats, as well as land use conflic ...

INCA Central Europe - Integrated nowcasting system for the Central European area (INCA-CE)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Sep 29, 2013,

Weather and especially severe weather is responsible for many natural disasters causing damage and loss of life. Weather forecasts are an essential part of early warning systems and consecutive actions within civil protection schemes, road management and flood protection. In the last years nowcasting, which is the forecast for the next hours, has improved significantly. Disasters at small time and ...

Climate Change and Impacts on Water Supply (CC-WaterS)

Start date: Apr 30, 2009, End date: Apr 29, 2012,

Climate change (CC) affects fresh water resources and may have significant influence on public drinking water supply. Land use activities exert pressure on water resources and will change according to CC. It is crucial for safeguarding future water supply to anticipate these climate and land use changes and to assess their impacts on water resources. Transnational action is needed to prepare SEE f ...

Drought Management Centre for South East Europe (DMCSEE)

Start date: Mar 31, 2009, End date: Mar 30, 2012,

Droughts have dramatically increased in number and intensity in some parts of Europe. The vulnerability to drought impacts in South East Europe (SEE) is higher in comparison to neighbouring regions. Ineffective water management is seen as the fundamental problem and can induce additional problems when drought occurs. Droughts have become a strategic issue in SEE. National focal points of the UN Co ...
