The SWRI contributes to Water Resources Management by covering a wide range of subjects such as:
- Establishment, documentation and operation of monitoring networks for qualitative and quantitative parameters.
- Assessment of the quantitative and qualitative status of water bodies and harmonization with the various standards and relevant legislation - water resources typology.
- Development and application of models for the simulation of hydrological, hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical processes at different scales (plot, water body, catchment).
- Hydrogeochemical and hydrogeological assessment.
- Isotopic hydrology.
- Risk/impact assessment of quantitative and qualitative degradation, protection/restoration of water bodies.
- Assessment (sources, processes, trends) and management of groundwater salinization
- Assessment of intrinsic and specific aquifer vulnerability
- Quantitative and qualitative management of irrigation water.
- Climate change impact on water resources and adaptation/mitigation measures
- Strategies for water resources governance emphasizing on local socio-economic and administrative structures
