INTRODUCTION AND MAIN GOALS The main objectives of WP4 “DEMO Site 2: Algarve and Alentejo, South Portugal” are to demonstrate how MAR can contribute as an alternative source of water, in the context of an integrated and inter-annual water resources management, as well as in solving groundwater quality problems caused by previous agricultural practices and wastewater discharges. Three DEMO sites (Figure 1) have ...
The work progress of WP4 between month 19 and 27 was conducted with the strong collaboration of the three Portuguese partners (LNEC, TARH and UAlg) as well as with the regional water authorities (APA Algarve and APA Alentejo), the water supply company (AdA, Águas do Algarve), and the General Direction for Agriculture (DRAPALG), some of the main potential users of MAR.

A comparative study on climate change and its impacts on coastal aquifers is performed for three Mediterranean areas. Common climate scenarios are developed for these areas using the ENSEMBLES projections that consider the A1b scenario. Temperature and precipitation data of three climate models are bias corrected with two different methods for a historic reference period, after which scenarios are created for 2...
