AGUAMOD responds to water management needs, in times of drought or lack of resources- For this, the project started with the definition of the concepts related to the ecosystem services, proposing a collaborative methodology for actors of water resources management. The project is based on knowledge of the river basins and databases fed by the water agencies of the territory.
Among its results, we should mention:
- The definition of common objectives with a view to responding to the European Commission Framework Directive on water resources management
- Management hypothesis based on political, environmental and economic priorities. The latter allowed the development of simulations on the consequences derived from hydrographic demarcation and hydrographic subsystems
- The development of environmental, economic and social indicators for the implementation of the Directive
- Instruments for dissemination of results adapted to the local scale, among which an interactive manual, a game and online training. These instruments not only contribute to support the daily management of water resources but also allow anticipation
- A space for dialogue between scientists and political decision makers at transnational level.
Today, the CACG (Compagnie d'Emmenagement des Coteaux de Gascogne) has taken over the management instrument developed by the project for the whole of its system.
