Among others, AquaTerra aims
- to provide better understanding of the river-sediment-soil-groundwater system at various temporal and spatial scales
- to provide the scientific basis for improved river basin management
- to develop specific tools for water and soil quality monitoring
- to develop integrated modelling for impact evaluation of pollution as well as climate and land-use changes for definition of long-term management schemes
Those objectives will be achieved through the single sub-projects.
