1. Round Table 7
Management Plan

2. Identification of research gaps
It is really cross cutting – hope that the other rt have thoroughly addressed the technical points
Most of the research gaps tackle the problem of scale and seem to be close to social research
transboundary indicators
go on although there are uncertainties (resilience of ecosystems, climate change or inertia evolution)
Better understanding of the land-use impact on the water cycle
Better understanding of effects of supplementary measures
Expectations are different on the different levels (transboundary, regional, local)
More coherence is needed between directives and scale

3. dissemination of research to …
many information exists already (reports, conferences and web sites)
It is a question of the right time to disseminate results so that people really use them
Need for continuity
Each specific project has its own schedule but step by step approach is in favor of a better public understanding
translate research results in common understandable pictures – translate policy needs into research questions
Need for a practical interface between research and public
take your time, visit conferences and workshops where subjects are linked and people share experiences – a new water culture has to be implemented
