SCARCE is a CONSOLIDER-INGENIO project that aims to describe and predict the relevance of global change impacts on water availability, water quality and ecosystem services in four Mediterranean river basins of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as their impacts on the human society and economy.The second SCARCE Conference aims to gather all interested researchers and water managers at the cross-roads of using water resources and keeping its ecological quality and conservation. Particularly, specific topics of this conference would be:

~ Monitoring network programme design that includes long-term, concurrent water quality, hydrometeorological, morphological and biological monitoring of reference sites to improve evidence of causative links between climate variability and local ecological status.

~ Analysis of interactions between surface and

groundwater hydrology taking place at the mesoscale (dm to tens of m).

~ Assessment of the multiple effects of changes in the hydrological regime (duration, intensity, time, and frequency of floods and droughts) on both biodiversity and ecosystem processes.

~ Development of integrative simulation tools (process oriented models) to assess the effects of global changes in aquifers, streams and rivers.

~ Development of system-oriented tools defined at the river network (water body scale), taking into account the integration of the water cycle into the water resources management at catchment scale.

~ Methodological framework development to quantify global change effects in terms of environmental and human risks.
