MIRAGE -
Mediterranean Intermittent River ManAGEment
Specific Targeted Research Project - Cooperation
Project No. 211732
This project is supported by funding from the
specific programme 'Cooperation,' theme
'Environment (including Climate Change)' under
the 7th Research Framework Programme of the
European Union.
The proposed research project MIRAGE (Mediterranean
Intermittent River ManAGEment) aims to provide
specific key knowledge for a better assessment
of ecological integrity (or ecological status in
the words of the European Water Framework
Directive) in Mediterranean temporary streams.
MIRAGE will develop the practical measures
necessary to understand their impact on nutrient
dynamics, toxic substances and organic matter
and to link these aspects to an Integrated flood
management.
WP 6 deals with “Sediment regime”: Expected
outcome: Advance in knowledge of particulate
dynamics, the influence on water quality and
guidance on related measures in temporary
waters.
