Offer Description
Artificial reservoirs are strategic for water supply in many arid and semiarid regions in the Mediterranean.
Their functionality is strongly challenged by the decrease in water inflow caused by climate change and
inappropriate water allocation. Reliable seasonal forecasts of reservoir inflows can help to support water
allocation decisions by providing better and earlier estimates of the available water. The project aims at
developing and testing a comprehensive water allocation framework for enhancing multipurpose water
systems’ resilience at time scales ranging from seasonal to multi-decadal, integrating hydrological impact
of seasonal forecasts and climate projections with management alternatives for reservoir’s operations
driven by Monte Carlo simulations. The methodology will be applied to the Salso-Simeto (Sicily) and the
Neto-Tacina (Calabria) systems in southern Italy
