| Name (native language): | GLOWA |
| Coordinating organisation: | Project Management Agency in the German Aerospace Center |
| Description: | GLOWA focuses on the problem of water availability. The medium and long-term availability of water is not only called into question by the continuous growth of the world population and in some areas by the excessive use of water resources, but is also increasingly influenced by global environmental changes. The aim of GLOWA is to develop simulation-tools and instruments which will allow to develop and to realize strategies for sustainable and future-oriented water management at regional level (river basins of approx. 100.000 km/2), while taking into account global environmental changes and the socioeconomic framework conditions. Within GLOWA five large cluster projects have been started. Two of them are located in Germany (Danube, Elbe), the other are investigating river catchment areas in North and West Africa (Draa, Queme, Volta) as well as in the Near East (Jordan). Each of these projects is tackling the following scientific core themes in an interdisciplinary and integrative research approach: |
