1 SNOWMAN an initiative for transnational research funding and cooperation in Europe Harry Vermeulen SKB Internet:
2 2 The ERA-net SNOWMAN Sustainable management of soil and ground Water under the pressure of soil pollution and soil contamination Duration of the project: January June 2009 SNOWMAN? Coordinator: BMLFUW, Austria
3 3 SNOWMANs ambition is to be a network of national funding organisations and administrations SNOWMAN ambition providing the research funding platform for soil and groundwater bridging the gap between knowledge demand and supply
4 Defining a European Soil and groundwater Research Agenda secretariat@snowman-era.net Internet:
5 5 New SNOWMAN Research Program Procedure: Discussions with visionaries from Snowman countries to set the scope of SNRP and to define societal developments relevant to scope; Discussion with funders and users on knowledge questions related to social developments; Discussion with researchers on research needs to answer the knowledge questions; Continued feed back to research funders
6 Relevant Societal Developments Energy and climate change Sustainable water management Sustainable agriculture Sustainable urbanisation 6
7 Energy and Climate Change Energy savings and sustainable production: Storage of heat and cold: potentials and effects Thermal energy: potentials and effects Emission of greenhouse gasses CO 2 -production and storage NO 2 and Methane production Bio fuel crop production Effect of climate change on soil quality 7
8 Sustainable Agriculture Ecosystem services: What is it, what is the role of soil? What are impacts, how to respond? Relation between soil functions and agriculture; Effects on soil quality, How to support sustainability? Role of soil in mineral cycles: Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus 8
9 Sustainable Agriculture Agricultural practices and soil functions: Compaction, irrigation, salination? Land slides and erosion Rural planning 9
10 Sustainable Water Management Retention and flooding Groundwater quality: Soil as a water filter Water management strategies Sediments 10
11 11 Retention and storage What can be the contribution of soil for storage? Recharge of aquifers What influences the capacity? Vegetation Soil type Erosion Sealing Flooding
12 12 Retention and storage Filtering: Effect of filtering capacity on quality (nitrate, phosphate) Management strategies: Managing droughts Shallow aquifers and land use planning Effectiveness of measures in highly polluted areas Groundwater usages in urban/industrial areas
13 13 Groundwater quality State: What is sustainable groundwater quality and ecology (natural quality, directive requirements) Need for strategic groundwater reservations Effects: Land use Urbanisation Pollution (diffuse, new components) Flooding
14 Sustainable Urbanisation Contamination: Risks, management, remediation Urban ecology: Role, positive effects Threats, sealing Urban planning 14
15 15 Management of contaminants Diffuse pollution Emerging contaminants Regional management of soil and groundwater pollution Brownfield redevelopment strategies
16 16 Remediation Improving existing technologies Natural attenuation Biological breakdown of persistent components Breakdown of emerging contaminations Fait of hazardous pollutants in groundand surface water
17 17 Regional management of contaminated ground- and surface water Pollution of groundwater from mining activities Pollution of groundwater from related chemical industries Redevelopment of old industrial sites in urban areas Redevelopment of abandoned army sites
18 18 Conclusion There are fields of common knowledge and research questions between IWRM and SNOWMAN Communication between both ERANET s has to be continued Explore possibilities of cooperation for period after 2009
