Structured by a mountain chain spanning from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean (the Pyrenees), the POCTEFA territories are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The Pyrenees host the headwaters and recharge areas of the main rivers and aquifer systems of the region, thus constituting the source of most of the water resources of the POCTEFA territory. PIRAGUA focuses on the evaluation and integrated management of the hydrological cycle in the Pyrenees, with the main goal of improving the adaptation capacity to the consequences of climatic change. As such, PIRAGUA will support the already existing investments dedicated to adaptation to climate change with respect to water resources. PIRAGUA is thus closely related to the trans-boundary strategy of the Pyrenean Observatory for Climate Change (OPCC), and will develop actions aiming at: i) Improving the existing knowledge and building datasets on climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle and the water resources in the region. ii) Defining and monitoring relevant indicators. iii) Elaborating future water resources scenarios. iv) Developing pilot experiences at the local level with focus on different water uses and economic sectors. v) Estimating the costs associated to climate change in relation with the water resources. vi) Elaborating recommendations for improving the sectorial adaptation to climate change. vii) Transferring of the results to the relevant water agencies in the POCTEFA territories.
