2. Objectives 2
Integrated evaluation of the environmental management of reservoirs and dams helping IRBM (Integrated River Basin Management)
To establish a typology of reservoirs in terms of their physical characteristics, management, and
socio-environmental issues. To identify environmental issues affecting reservoirs.
To select a series of pilot reservoirs to carry out the study, representative of the diversity of
typologies in Europe, mainly in the Mediterranean area.
Explore and reveal the relationships between management approaches and the status of depending
ecosystems. Assess the environmental costs of management.
Study and validate tools (indicators, methodologies) to evaluate different aspects of the
environmental management of a reservoir.
Describe any possible good management practices, and prepare a decision support system to make
decisions on corrective measures, based on a cost-effectiveness analysis.
Carry out an analysis from the point of view of the services that reservoirs provide as ecosystems.
Study in each case compliance with the principle of cost recovery.
