Objectives

A contract aimed at describing the state, the ecological status and water demand and use of the referred aquifers as well as assessing and proposing more effective economic instruments (based on modelling responses and costs estimation) achieve environmental objectives as referred to in the WFD.

General activities

Diagnosis of the necessary and available information to apply the methodologies of cost calculation and cost recovery; literature and RBMPs review; Modelling and application of the methodology to the case studies; Assessment and conclusions.

Expected results

Application of an approach based on the economic analysis of cost-recovery scenarios (addressing financial, environmental and resource costs) in both study areas, which allows proposing new cost-recovery instruments and achieving the good status of these water bodies.
