Running projects and logistic considerations
Late 2000 the Regione Toscana organized a conference titled "Arno river 2000: the turning point". They declared a lack of management and knowledge on ground waters as compared with surface and runoff water. However resources also were short and surface water was still priviliged. In particular, and this applies also to ARPAT, they miss a comprehensive model (namely ECON and HYDRO), relying only on GIS archives of wells, and of the water supply net. However they are expected to represent a vehicule to more interested Public Authorities, such as Water Agencies and Provinces. Actions are in progress in this respect. 2001, 2002, 2003

Running projects, and interest in possibility to move towards integrated water life-cycles models and tools (for meteorology and agriculture)
Their focus was mainly on the underlying HYDRO model. Being the GOUVERNe ones not generic (but specific) it was raised the question of how "exporting" the prototypes to other geographical areas. In turn this raised the point of first implementing appropriate HYDRO models, and then chaining its results with the other water models of theirs (runoff, surface), and rainfall models. 2001, 2002

Running projects and interest of exploiting Earth Observation in civil domains, Meeting.
Both the European and Italian Space Agencies are willing to fund projects in favour of recognized end-users and exploiting the use of the Earth Observation. Intecs, upon BRGM requiremements, has built a prototype for the derivation of watersheds based on a DEM in turn based on Earth Observation data. This may reveal exploitable, although other thematic domains seem to have higher priority for ASI and ESA (forest fires, oil spill, etc.). 2002, 2003
