Significant vulnerability of water systems to drought is a common
issue of water resources management in Mediterranean regions. This
is due both to the increasing occurrence and severity of drought
events and to the growing demand for municipal, tourist, and
agricultural uses. The INCO-DC project entitled "A Decision Support
System for Mitigation of Drought Impacts in the Mediterranean
Regions" (DSS DROUGHT) addresses this issue, contributing to an
improved management of water supply systems for irrigation, which
represents the most consumptive sector of water resources uses in
the Mediterranean region. In order to develop a comprehensive
approach toward improved operation of irrigation systems under
drought conditions, the project was developed around the following
five main, strictly interconnected tasks: Identification of drought
characteristics at a site and over a region Modelling irrigation
management under conditions of water scarcity Modelling operation
of water supply systems under drought conditions Integration of the
developed methodologies within a Decision Support System software
package Definition of requisites for Drought Watch Systems The
research resulted in an advancement of knowledge through in-depth
analysis of innovative methodologies, the development of tools to
help decision-makers in coping with droughts through the
implementation of the developed procedures in software packages,
and the application of these tools to the case-studies identified
by partners in their countries."
