Objective
If the challenges of the future are to be met, major changes in the approach to water resource management are required. One of the major fundamental change required is a shift from preoccupation with increasing water availability toward a more balanced approach which emphasizes conservation and protection of water resources. This proposal is motivated by the fact that all partners are currently carrying on a variety of research activities on definition of sustainability criteria, hydrological and socio-economic modeling, groundwater management, nonpoint source pollution regulation, interactions between agriculture and the environment, analysis of the impacts of CAP and national/local water management policies and practices. The aim is bringing together social and natural scientists, in order:
(a) to comprehensively interpret the interactions between agriculture and groundwater quality in Southern European regions;
(b) to identify sustainable paths of groundwater use;
(c) to identify the role and impacts of CAP as well as alternative agricultural-environrnental policy schemes that could lead to sustainability. As the present proposal is concerned with the concertation of on-going research in many different areas, the work of the C.A. focuses more on the organization of the concertation and the promotion of the execution of individual projects, than on fine-tuning of the research itself The general goal for this C.A. is to stimulate feedback between research teams, to exchange research methods and data, to harmonize different approaches, to identify research priorities. Coordination will be primarily achieved through periodic meetings. Moreover, between meetings, Partners will be encouraged to share available information and results derived from ongoing research activities. All partners are expected to make at least two contributions to published papers during the C.A. period. Intermediate results of workshops will be collected in 3 interim reports. The main results, policy reccomendations, and research priorities identified during the C.A. will be presented in a final executive summary. The intention is also to produce at the end a book, using a reputable publisher, that will bring together the main theoretical findings and policy recommendations.
