Project Abstract
The primary goal of the WATER Fellowship is to provide highly applied research to contribute to EPA�s role in the next phases of WFD implementation within three years coinciding with the delivery of RBMPs by 2009. To achieve this goal the WATER Fellowship proposes the following key objectives:1. (Approx. 50% of time) Develop case studies and best practice linking with national and European researchers to demonstrate how groundwater-surface water issues can be best integrated and addressed in the RBMPs. 2. (Approx. 50% of time) Research support for EPA activities related to WFD: a. Provide scientific advice and carry out testing and evaluation of project deliverables from the NS-SHARE project. b. Provide scientific support to EPA funded WFD ERTDI projects and to the relevant national WFD working groups and linking with other EPA Research Fellows and the Centre of Excellence on WFD issues. Note: the particular research emphasis on groundwater-surface water interaction issues in objective 1 reflects technical competencies of the project leader. This research will build on the significant contribution made in this area during the PRB project. A minimum of 2.5 days per week will be dedicated on objective 1.
