Type of service provided :

  • Conducting a literature review and analysing hydrogeological, hydrological and meteorological data;
  • Conducting a GIS analysis (including remote sensing) to characterise vulnerability areas;
  • Reviewing hydrogeological (groundwater level measurement) and hydrological (river flows and water quality) monitoring systems;
  • Assessing current and future climate risks on available groundwater and surface water resources (quality and quantity);
  • Developing a strategy to the develop and enhance future monitoring systems;
