Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastaL regions (PEARL)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
"Coastal floods are one of the most dangerous and harmful natural hazards affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanisation combined with climate change and poor governance means a significant increase in the risk of local surface flooding coinciding with high water levels in rivers and high tide or storm surges from the sea, posing a greater risk of devastation to coastal communiti ...

Water Enhanced Resource Planning "Where water supply meets demand" (WatERP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Water supply involves many actors. While many management tools exist, they cannot intercommunicate and no framework is available for integrating all of them, preventing integrated water resources management to be fully achieved. WatERP will develop a web-based Open Management Platform (OMP), integrating intelligent systems through open interfaces, to enable water supply distribution chains to be m ...
