GEOLAND2 output: Pan European application of the Hydrological model, HYPE

GEOLAND2:

 

What is E-HYPE model?

E-HYPE is a pan European application of the Hydrological model, HYPE.

EHYPE is devided into 35000 subbasins with an average size of about 200 square kilometers.

E-HYPE can be used to deliver most hydrological and nutrient variables.

Project overview

The implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and its daughter directives, as well as the Floods Directive, is not a “Business-as-usual approach” and constitutes an exceptional challenge to water managers and governments across Europe. Assessments of the current status of implementation have shown that less than 40% of water bodies will meet the Good Ecological Status in 2015.

Summer School 2012: Flood Risk Management, University of Oxford, St Anne’s College, 16th – 20th July 2012

The WATERDISS 2.0 Summer School on FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT is organized with the aim to provide an opportunity of an intensive working together of talented young researchers, PhD students or freelancers from all over Europe with some of the leading academics, researchers and practitioners in the field.

WaterDiss2.0 - Communicating research: Getting your message across

Monday, 14.05.2012, 09:40 – 12:50

Special Session at the IWA World Congress on Water, Climate and Energy, The Convention Centre on May 13-18, 2012 in Dublin, Ireland            

What are the appropriate channels for communication to transmit knowledge and ensure uptake in policy and practice? What are common pitfalls and how can these be avoided?

Transferring European research outcomes in practice

WaterDiss2.0 Consensus Conference: Expediting the Transfer of European Water Research. Berlin, 3 – 4 November 2011

Berlin, 3 – 4 November 2011

Water practitioners and researchers share a common interest in catalyzing the transfer and use of EU-funded water research outputs in order to meet the policy aims set out in the Water Framework Directive and related directives. The WaterDiss2.0 project, funded within the Seventh Framework Programme for research and technology development (FP7), aims to improve the processes of research communication and uptake and adds an intermediate step after research, much like a marketing team in industry. From 2011 until 2013, the WaterDiss2.0 consortium will be working to speed up the transfer of FP water research results to intended users with the support of events designed for specific audiences and by engaging scientists, policy makers and water managers in the European Water Community.

STREAM

STREAM is a FP7 project (grant agreement 265309) which started on the 1st January 2011 and will run two years until the 31st December 2012.

STREAM

 

STREAM intends to tackle the issue water research awareness gap by bringing water technologies to the interest of those that seek implementation. The main objectives are:

STEP-WISE

STEP-WISE is an FP 7 project (grant agreement no.: 265308), started on the 1st of January 2011 and will run till 31st December 2012. The WISE-RTD Web Portal has already been implemented to serve as a dissemination tool, linking diverse EC Water Framework Directive policy aspects to FP RTD (and LIFE) results, thus bridging the science policy gap in information exchange.
