CLIWAT

The CLIWAT project will initiate important transboundary cooperation and evaluation of the effect of different climate scenarios in the EU North Sea region and establish predictive modelling tools for future simulations. The project website is intended to provide easy access to simulation results in the form of maps and visualisations facilitating cooperation and with the aim of increasing the the public awareness and understanding about climate change effects... Adapting to a more extreme future climate. Climate change simulations indicate that rainfall will increase in the North Sea region, however with significant seasonal variations. This will lead to higher groundwater levels (up to one meter), higher flux to rivers/coastal waters and a forced outwash of nutrients and pollutants from industrial areas, agriculture and landfills. Conditions for the design of roads, buildings etc. will change.
