Impact of Climate Change on the quality of urban and coastal waters (DiPol)

DiPol aims to collect knowledge on the impact of climate change (CC) on water quality, to communicate and raise awareness towards this knowledge, to improve the ability of decision makers to counteract these impacts on local and international level, and to facilitate public participation herein. SIMACLIM, as a tool developed within the DiPol project, will illustrate these complex environmental processes and simulate different scenarios, which can aim at certain societal goals. * Development and implementation of a demonstration and evaluation tool: SIMACLIM through specialized working groups on: Atmospheric pollutants, pathogenic bacteria, dissolved substances, particle bound substances, NSR coastal transport; * Development of demonstration scenarios; * Establishment of a WEB based knowledge platform on the basis of four case studies
