SP3 Water Management
Development and Appliance of a Strategic Water Management Tool
The objective is to develop and to apply a sophisticated Water Management Tool (WMT) with a coupled emission/immission-based approach to monitor the water resources in the study region and to protect these water resources against land use pressure, especially through rubber cultivation. Both water quality and quantity aspects will be considered relating to the water bodies as important drinking and process water resources, and to the surface waters as natural habitats. The WMT could be a superior measure to restore and preserve the sustainability of water-related ecosystem services in rubber-dominated regions.
