Work Package 3 : Generalized Methodological Framework for the Harmonization of Model Supported Integrated River Basin Management |
| Partner and Description |
 |
An essential component of any
integration across social, natural and engineering sciences is
communication between decision-makers, actors, politicians,
stakeholders, scientists and the public. It is required in particular
in the analysis of systems under pressure, such as a region, country,
district or river basin where measures and strategies for action are
needed to ensure or support sustainable development. The pressures
might be external (e.g. climate change, global market development)
and/or internal (human activities within the unit as driving
forces/drivers). Both result in changes of states and in subsequent
impacts which require a response by society. This sequence from
Drivers to Pressures, States, Impacts and ultimately Responses
defines the well-known DPSIR framework of the European Environment
Agencies (OECD 1994, UNCSD 1996), which served as the basis for the
development of a more specific Integration Methodology and Approach
(IMA) for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in
Europe. (read more)
