The objectives of this project are:
Review and comparison of catchment management planning processes and associated draft catchment management plans in intra and trans-boundary catchments.
-
Review, collation and analysis of models, data and information that allow for the (spatially explicit) estimation of water pollution abatement impacts, costs and benefits in linked catchment and coastal ecosystems.
-
Development and application of integrated modelling approach for efficient water quality planning and management, for the case of intra and trans-boundary river basins in linked catchment and coastal ecosystems. This project specifically focuses on intra and trans-boundary river catchments in the Iberian peninsula, with case studies for, most likely, the Vouga (intra) and Minho (trans) river catchments. The focus on intra and trans-boundary catchments covers the prevalent river catchment governance structures in the Iberian peninsula as well as Europe, leading to a tailored planning and policy support approach for each of these governance structures while allowing to build on complementarities between them.

The development of the integrated approach and
associated project activities is subdivided over the following
four tasks:
-
Review and comparison of catchment management
planning processes and associated draft catchment management
plans in intra and trans-boundary catchments.
-
Review, collation and analysis of models,
data and information that allow for the (spatially explicit)
estimation of water pollution abatement impacts, costs and
benefits in linked catchment and coastal ecosystems.
-
Development and application of integrated
modelling approach for efficient water quality planning and
management, for the case of intra and trans-boundary river
basins in linked catchment and coastal ecosystems.
-
Dissemination of project results on water
quality planning and management in linked catchment and
coastal ecosystems for intra and trans-boundary catchments.
