RIPFLOW PROJECT

Project Objectives

1. Development of a dynamic riparian model

• Development of the model itself
  
• Implementation of the assessment of the ecological status in WFD sense
  
• Creation of the software
  
• Cost-effective methods for the data acquisition
  

• Calibration of the model in three European study cases
  
• Climate change and disturbed flow scenarios proposal
  
• Model application for climate change and disturbed flow scenarios analyses
  

• Deliver techniques to understand and manage the impacts of altered hydrology
  
• Development of tools/methodologies to asses the "ecological flow regime" of rivers
  
• Deliver tools that support decision-making and policy development in extreme events
