WATERUSE
Evaluation of
alternative techniques for determination of water budget
components in water-limited, heterogeneous land-use systems
WATERUSE is a research project that
aims to
develop and provide tools for the evaluation of water fluxes and its
governing processes in the drier regions of Europe, in order to develop
guidelines for the sustainable use
of water resources.

ISA
coordinates the project. IDRHa ,
COTR and
GeoHiRes ensure the link with the Decision makers
and Manager organisms (for water in agriculture), the farmers
and the Industry. Their experience as well as their links to the
real world, are fundamental in contributing to the refinement of
methodologies and to disseminate the information to the users.
The others belong to Universities
coming from: Agricultural Engineering, Agrometeorology, Biology, Remote
Sensing, Forestry, Ecology, Geophysics, Soil Science, Plant Production,
Environment. These are complementary and distinct fields.
The facilities of equipment from the different partners provides
significant added value to the project.
