=== Project summary ===

"The main challenges of this project are to create local Early Warning Systems against Water Scarcity in the Alps based on sound and perennial monitoring and modeling and anchored strongly and actively within a Stakeholder Forum linked across comparative and contrasting regions across the Alps. The Early Warning System is based on the linkage and improvement of field monitoring and assemblage of qualitative and quantitative data derived from anthropogenic water use in selected pilot regions in France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia and Switzerland. The aims are to implement water management at the short term (annual) scale as well as the long term (future scenarios) scale based on modeling under climate change and anthropogenic scenarios. Future water shortages should be prognosed and prevented by innovative measures of mitigation and adaptation. Awareness raising and stakeholder interaction will form an important part of problem identification, participation in the project, dissemination of results and implementation of new approaches."

|[[http://www.alpine-space.eu/uploads/tx_txrunningprojects/Handbook_Water_Managers_web.pdf|Handbook “Water Management in a Changing Environment”]]|[[:wiki:report|Report]]|EN  |Decision makers, Civil servants / administration  |The handbook offers an overview of the main outputs of the project. In the first sections, a definition of ‘water scarcity’ and different stakeholder perspectives on the term are presented. An overview of water scarcity problems in different sectors and the legal aspects of water governance at different levels are then provided. In the last section, recommendations to address water scarcity are proposed. This "Case-Study-Based Recommendations for Water Managers and Policy Makers" is the critical and largest section of the handbook.|

A list of ecosystem goods and services is presented, and the probability of future droughts in the Alps is shortly discussed. For each group of services, a review of worldwide trends is given, followed by a discussion of drought effects in Europe and especially in the Alps. Finally, an overview of adaptation options is given.|
