Best Practices Guidelines for the design and implementation of Dss tools

for IWRM in the Mediterranean Area.

Introduction

In the framework of Nostrum-dss CA, WP4 was dedicated to:

GIS, Remote sensing, and Statistical Information in support of policy making:

To set up a

knowledge base about the availability of geographical data

databases, monitoring networks, etc.) (remote sensed information, geophysical  SUMER and NCRS carried out a desk survey of relevant information centers and sources in the Mediterranean basin including all information pertinent to the availability of: – Statistical – geographical data (remote sensed information, geophysical databases, monitoring networks, etc.)  These surveys relied on many sources such as the National reports, Internet, books and journals, as well as MEDIAS contribution…

Task c) Water and climate change in the Mediterranean

databases, monitoring networks, etc.) (remote sensed information, geophysical  Data sets : generally “global seasonal forecast categories maps or global climate predictions” (temperatures, rainfall) coming from – Metoffice , – IRI (International Research Institute for Climate and Society) Columbia University-USA) – ECPC (Experimental Climate Prediction Center) - USA – IPCC They include climatic scenarios simulations from – (Data Distribution Center (DDC) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) hosted by University of East Anglia (UK)… CERA Database (Climate and Environmental Retrieving and Archiving) Hamburg – Germany ;   – – IMAGE 2,2 Implementation of the SRES scenarios (Integrated Model to Asses the Global Environment) - Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (MNP) (Netherlands) ; MAGICC (Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse-gas Induced Climate Change) and SCENGEN (A Regional Climate SCENario GENerator) – National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Colorado-USA Projects – LandWaterMED (Geo-Information for Sustainable Management of Land and Water Resources in the Mediterranean Region) – MED-CLIVAR (Mediterranean CLImate VARiability and predictability) – MEDEX (Mediterranean Experiment on Cyclones that produce High Impact Weather in the Mediterranean)… Organizations are the ones linked to – the data sets like Universities or National Meteorological offices – the described projects like research laboratories or others

Task d) Data needs assessment for supporting Dss use for IWRM

The final aim is to compile an interactive

meta-data analysis

The task leader will organise the

3rd Thematic Workshop

based on the data surveys performed in task a), b) and c). (NCSR).  Once this collection has been completed, the need for a common repository

for different sort of information became evident: NCRS therefore

built up a

Meta-database in MS Access .

  The main menu of this

repository

–

entering

and

browsing

allows: information about institutes and organizations working in the field of Remote Sensing, GIS, statistical and Climatic information – and

searching

for information about the

availability

of Remote Sensing, GIS, statistical and Climatic data related to Water Resources Management in these organizations and institutes The DB consists in fact of

many entities

(tables) such as Organizations, Projects, Datasets…etc as detailed in the

following schema 8

NOSTRUM-Dss is a Co-ordinated Action (CA) funded by the EC; it started in August 2004 and will last 3 years. It addresses the needs for reorientation of science to support policy making and for the adoption of multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approaches by analyzing the needs expressed by stakeholders and fostering mediation between policy objectives and scientific knowledge. The goal is to create an enabling environment for a more equitable and efficient water resource management in the Mediterranean Basin trough the development of Best Practice Guidelines. The ultimate aim of NOSTRUM-DSS Co-ordination Action is to contribute to bridge the gaps between science and real life, in order to provide Dss developers with insight into the language and the needs of policy makers (PMs) and stakeholders, and subsequently to provide PMs effective tools based on an integrated approach for problem solving in the context of IWRM.

Future improvement

 Changing from MS-ACCESS to SQL 2000 for better performance    Fixing problems of updating A restyling of the home page (logo, description, help) A complex query tool ( searching all entities) A link to other sites and resources A geographical query method will be added A secure access to the site (partners will be given a username and password) depending on the need for using this site Next month, the

Meta-database will be published

on the Nostrum-dss web site:

The Global Land (GLC 2000) database is a land cover dataset. The project was carried out to provide accurate baseline landcover information to the International Conventions on Climate Change, the Convention to Combat Desertification, the Ramsar Convention and the Kyoto Protocol.

This map is derived from a NDVI-SPOT-VEGETATION dataset (data spanning from 1rst November 1999 to 31 December 2000). - 27 land cover classes – 1 km resolution
