GLOWA Elbe III 2007 - 2010 - Impact of global change on the water cycle in the Elbe region --
Collaborative Project
Project code:
01 LW 0603 A2
Contract period:
01.01.2007
- 31.12.2010
Coordinating institution:
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
Target of the BMBF GLOWA research program is to develop science based proposals for ensuring the availability, quality and distribution of water resources.
For the third phase the GLOWA-program is oriented to 'help decision makers in the catchment areas to examine and assess the impact of various decisions . These systems should be designed so that they are transferable to other comparable river basins'(BMBF 2005).
Building on the programme by the consortium GLOWA-Elbe for the final third research phase, the following objectives are pursued:
* Provision and dissemination of the instruments and results of the investigation GLOWA-alliance (to adjust the water management in the Elbe region to the challenges of global change) to the practice; for this purpose substantive, technical and organizational requirements are to be created, and
* Demonstration of the developed instruments in policy-use cases for the whole Elbe region.
