Project objectives: 
The Mediterranean basin suffers from many conflicts between water scarcity and different end users. Decision Support Systems (DSS) are promising tools for 
bringing the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) into practice for managing socio-political conflicts over competing demands for 
water uses in different environmental situations. However, they have yet to be fully exploited. NOSTRUM-DSS is a Coordination Action which addresses this 
gap.
Project Summary: 
The key objectives are:  
1.To establish links between scientific institutions, governments, NGOs, SMEs and other stakeholders and to improve public awareness of water management; 
 
2.To improve scientific knowledge and applied methodologies in IWRM;  
3.To promote the development of suitable Decision Support System tools built upon  
real needs of policy making in IWRM.
Achieved Objectives: 
A range of outputs and deliverables are available on the website. The website itself acts as a discussion forum.
