A new project for the development of pan-European Scenarios is going to be prepared right now. Several regions have been selected as examples for scenarios building, one of them is the Black Sea region.

The following specific objectives could be identified for the Black sea region (Ukraine, Russia) in the SCENES project:

-    to develop a methodology for water scenarios building and test it at hot spot areas taking into account  possible options for reform processes in water  and land management (storylines)

-    to support reforms in water management by dissemination of knowledge, rising awareness and involving stakeholders in scenarios building to select the best options for water management transfer (irrigation and drainage infrastructure transfer to water users, creation of local public and private organizations for water management and etc.)

 -    to develop technology for optimization structure of water use by different  sectors within river basins

 -    to develop water management systems for implementation of IWRM on different spatial levels

More details will be communicated later. Please come back at least once per month.
