Europe Nutrient Management - Guided Approaches for Greater Export reduction

Many European aquatic ecosystems are threatened by nutrient pollution and eutrophication, among other environmental challenges.

In Europe, the climate and anthropogenic drivers for excess nutrient pollution vary regionally due to climate and anthropogenic differences, highlighting the need for better cross-boundary management of nutrient dynamics and maximising related provisioning(water supply and food/drink), (2) regulating (water purification), (3) supporting(nutrient cycling), and (4) cultural (recreation) ecosystem services.

ENGAGE aims to operationalise a novel vision for the future of multi-scale nutrient export reduction and associated ecosystem services in national and transboundary/ international river basins in Europe by bringing together robust stakeholder engagement strategies with coupled state-of-the-art computational hydrology techniques and online interactive use-tailored DS tool approaches that integrate remote sensing, socio-economic, governance, and society-change decision elements.
