Resilience enhancement and water demand management for climage change adaptation. (Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal) The alteration of rainfall patter (form, intensity and timing of rainfall) will have significant effects on water availability and frequency of extreme events such as floods and droughts. The knock-on effects of these changes will affect almost all communities throughout Europe, and most economic sectors. This project will examine river basins Po (Italy), Weser (Germany), Guadalquivir (Spain) and Guadiana (Portugal).
