In this project we aim to tackle this by 1) surveying existing regulatory framework conditions for catchments and developing a criteria catalogue for water quality modelling in the water governance context from the science and management perspectives for current and future states; 2) creating management scenarios with regard to socio-economic and climatic development and simulating coupled reservoir and downstream river reaches systems for the current and future conditions; and 3) identifying and analysing current and future conflicts in water use management and demonstrating model-based strategies for action in emergency situations.
