River Basin Agenda Alpine Space (River Basin Agenda)

Start date: Apr 30, 2003, End date: Feb 27, 2006,

The risk potential in river basins has risen sharply throughout Europe due to the enormous pressures of utilization in the narrow valleys. In order to improve safety for the valley populations, increased, sustained inter-regional and transnational commitment is required. The Alpine River Basin Agenda thereby makes innovative contributions in 10 selected river basins: - from working focussed on the ...
