PIRAGUA – Evaluation and prospective of the water resources of the Pyrenees in a context of climate change and adaptation measures with an impact on the territory
Project Overview
PIRAGUA addresses the characterisation of the hydrological cycle in the Pyrenees in order to improve the adaptation capacity of the territories to the challenges imposed by climate change and to support the investment aimed at adapting water resource management to climate change. PIRAGUA is aligned with the strategy of crossborder cooperation of the Pyrenean Climate Change Observatory (OPCC)
Project Results
The territorial challenges addressed by PIRAGUA are in line with the objectives of the 2nd Action Plan of the Pyrenean Climate Change Observatory (OPCC) regarding the WATER axis: To carry out a JOINT CHARACTERISATION OF THE WATER RESOURCES of the Pyrenees which will make it possible to know the evolution of surface and ground waters and their variations. To know better WATER RESOURCES ARE USED in the Pyrenees, on the scale of the entire POCTEFA territory. To quantify FUTURE PYRENEAN WATER RESOURCES, based on different climate change scenarios. To Identify and propose ADAPTATION ACTIONS TO CLIMATE CHANGE in relation to water resources.
