Description

This handbook is a product of the CLIWAT project (CLImate change and groundWATer) highlighting the main results and recommendations of the project for planners and practitioners at local, regional and national levels. CLIWAT is a transnational project in the North Sea region dealing with groundwater mapping and adaptive planning and solutions for the coming challenges caused by climate change. The project aims at bridging EU-science and policy on climate change impact and adaptation in the North Sea Region at a practical level. The project involves sixteen partners from Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark. The handbook is complemented by a number of scientific papers from all pilot areas in a special issue of the on-line journal “Hydrology and Earth System Sciences” with the title “Assessing the impact of climate change for adaptive water management in coastal regions”.
