18 T5.4 CRETE Name of User Institute: Directorate of Water, Region of Crete What kind of climate (historic and/or future) information is currently used by the user institute? Regional Authority owns a large number of hydro-meteorological stations over the island that allow for an adequate modeling of the current (historic) conditions. Authority makes no use of future data. What kind of climate information is needed by the User institute what kind of information is needed to make the required decisions? precipitation, temperature, Epot, Timescale at least up to 2050, How will the required information be delivered? Raw time-series of basin scale information and maps To what extent is the user aware of the uncertainty? User is generally aware of the uncertainty in projections Delivery of information? Six months before the end of the project (month 30) 18 18
