Monitoring
Development of a “past floods database at European level”
Development of a monitoring network with modern measuring equipment at stations and software packages for the assessment of the intensity of precipitation, with the use of radar imaging systems
Development methodologies on monitoring of the condition of flood defence structures incl. remote sensing techniques
Improvement of gauging and monitoring in small catchments
Climate: Enhancement of climate monitoring to improve data for weather, climate and hydrologic modelling to aid understanding of water-related impacts and management options
Soil water: Development of a monitoring system for soil water content of agriculturally used areas as part of agrometeorological monitoring stations
Observation of water consumption of plants
Observation of water quantity used for irrigation
Better integration of risk and impact data
Protection of biotopes
