What is RISKBASE?
Risk Based Management of River Basins
The objective of RISKBASE is to review and synthesise the outcome of EC FP4-FP6 projects, and other major initiatives, related to integrated risk assessment-based management of the water/sediment/soil system at the river-basin scale.
This review and synthesis is executed by leading European scientists and representatives of major, European stakeholder groups.
The above synthesis leads to the development of integrated risk assessment-based management approaches enabling the prevention and/or reduction of the negative impacts caused by human activities on that system.
The related measurable and verifiable RISKBASE deliverables are:
- An overarching concept, generic approach and guiding principles to integrated risk-based management of river basins,
- Recommendations towards evolution and implementation of risk-based management in national and community policies and towards implementation in management,
- A proposal for the European research agenda related to risk-based management.
