Ecohydrology Platform

For further details about how to construct a demonstration site card, please download the Demonstration Site Cards Guidelines (EN/ ES) and the Explanatory Text clicking here.

For questions stating “multiple answers”, please choose one or more of the options given. For those with no multiple options, please answer either “Yes” or “No”. A site will qualify as a demosite if for each of the following parts (I, II, III) there is at least one question marked with “yes” or one option is selected. If this is not the case, it will not qualify.

Minimum criteria form

1.1. Is there a good representation of diverse stakeholders involved (e.g. knowledge institutions, government agencies, NGOs, and the private sector)?

1.2. What are the Ecohydrology implementation principles used? (multiple answers)

Hydrological: Quantification of the hydrological processes at catchment scale as template for quantification of ecological processes, and mapping the impacts;

Ecological: Distribution of ecosystems and their relevant processes (ex: metabolism=water and nutrient uptake and retention; biomass production);

Ecological engineering: use of ecosystem properties as management tools (“dual regulation”, integration, harmonization, and biotechnologies in catchment/site scale for enhancement of ecological potential in the context of WBSR);

1.3. What are the relevant documents available? Please write the number in front of each option (multiple answers)

Part II. Relevance of the solutions proposed by the demonstration site to ecohydrology.

2.1.1. Does the project include aims to achieve the following (if yes, please choose one or multiple answers):

Improvement of water quality and/or quantity;

Enhancement of biodiversity;

Improvement of ecosystem services;

Increase of resilience;

Increase of Cultural Heritage;

2.2. Which Ecohydrological technologies are used or provided by the site? (multiple answers)

“Dual regulation” (regulation of water-biota and/or biota-water interplay);

Ecohydrological biotechnologies;

Phytotechnology;

Environmental flow;

Other:

3.1. Does the proposed project team reflect an adequate commitment to transdisciplinary collaboration (in terms of different fields of knowledge/research)?

3.2. Does the list of partners and stakeholders demonstrate effective commitment to improving environment?

3.3. Is there a sufficient combination of funding and in-kind services to carry out the proposed activities?
