Advanced Tools and Models to Improve River Basin Management in
Europe in the Context of Climate Change - AquaTerra has developed
from an integrated project of the 6th EU RTD Framework Programme
that aims to provide the scientific basis for an improved river
basin management through a better understanding of the
river-sediment-soil-groundwater system as a whole, by integrating
both natural and socio-economics aspects at different temporal and
spatial scales. This book aims: * to provide better understanding
of the river-sediment-soil-groundwater system at various temporal
and spatial scales * to relate expected climate alterations to
changes in deposition, mobility and distribution of pollutants in
European river basins. * to provide the scientific basis for
improved river basin management * to introduce novel tools for
water and soil quality monitoring * to show the necessity of
integrated modelling frameworks for impact evaluation of pollution
as well as climate and land-use changes for definition of long-term
management schemes The work illustrates the dynamic behavior of the
pathway of pollutants in soils, groundwater, surface water and
sediments. It highlights the fundamental importance of integrating
knowledge from sereral combineddisciplines on various environmental
compartments in order to understand the large number of processes
that govern pollutant input, transport and turnover. Results shows
that a significant step forward has been made in the development
new analytical methods and of process-based numerical models that
are capable of making predictions of likely trends and
environmental changes to be expected in the near or distant future
at the basin-scale. These models can be used e.g. to generate
hydrologic scenarios based on climate models and to simulate
pollutant distribution and turnover rates from decades to
millennia.
