BIODROUGHT project ? developing effective tools for retrospective bioindication of dry episodes in stream history and selection of watersheds with drought risk using aquatic macroinvertebrates
Original language description
Climate change has brought remarkable changes in hydrological regime over the last decades and causes consequent periodical drying out of water-courses(meant as the absence of surface flow)not only in the Mediterranean but also in Central Europe where the percentage of annually drying up small streams has increased remarkably.Increasing stream intermittency in this region is probably associated with changes in the distribution of precipitation and higher evapotranspiration during the season,and also with hydrological alterations of anthropogenic origin.Regardless of the cause of drying up of small water-courses,we use the analysis of aquatic macroinvertebrate community as an effective tool for the detection of dry periods in stream?s recent history.Themain expected project outcomes include(i)risk maps assessing stream vulnerability to drought and(ii)a bioindication method evaluating the presence and possibly the extent of dry periods with a defined probability rate.
