Integrated Drought Management Programme Increase the capacity of the CEE region to adapt to climatic variability by enhancing resilience to drought. variability and change in precipitation increased frequency of extreme weather events in the future well developed meteorological and hydrological monitoring but not as a support for decision makers limited sharing of information among countries lack of political will to solve the problem drought was not considered a relevant issue 5 May 2016
6 May 2016
Cooperation with national governments Main challenges: Lack of political will to solve the problem drought was not considered as a relevant issue. Gaps in the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Solutions: cooperation with national governments to help them to incorporate drought management issues into their national programs, policies and plans Preparation of the guidance document National Consultation Dialogues acceptance at the policy level Guidelines for preparation of the Drought Management Plans within RBMP 7 May 2016
Process of preparation of the Guidelines Parts of the Drought Management Plan National Consultation Dialogues 1st round setting the stage review of the current status 2nd round how to overcome gaps in the current drought management; developing Guidelines; national experiences and examples 3rd round action plan/update for preparation of the Drought Management Plan 8 May 2016
Step-by-step guidance towards Drought Management Plan From crisis management to drought risk reduction 9 May 2016
Translation of the Guidelines into 7 national languages Hungarian, Lithuanian, Romania, Ukrainian Slovakian, Slovenian and Poland version in progress 10 May 2016
Testing and describing new approaches towards proactive drought management focusing on agricultural sector as one of the most vulnerable ones in the region Natural Small Water Retention Measures Increasing soil water holding capacity Drought impact on forest ecosystems Remote sensing agricultural drought monitoring methods Updating agricultural drought monitoring and forecasting in Ukraine & Moldova 11 May 2016
Natural Small Water Retention Measures adaptive measure which serves to adjust to extreme climate variability it helps retain water in the land during wet periods and make this water more available for ecosystems, agriculture and forestry during drought periods & slows down flood waves during flood periods improve the water conditions in the river basin increase landscape resilience against the effects of climate preserve biodiversity of habitats that are strongly related to water resources, including habitats and species of a great natural value 12 May 2016
Guidelines on Natural Small Water Retention Measures What are technical and non-technical measures to increase water retention? How to choose the catchment for the retention measures? How can we evaluate the results of NSWRM in terms of flood protection, drought mitigation, and biodiversity increase? How can we incorporate the natural water retention measures in the RBMP, FPMP and DMP? GIS based tool for identifying the areas which are most suitable for the NSWRMs 13 May 2016

Agricultural drought monitoring and forecasting in Ukraine and Moldova IDMP CEE Experience from demo projects Tetiana Ademenko Chief of agrometeorological dept. UHMC 18 May 2016
Yields of main agricultural crops in Ukraine during the severe droughts of the 21st century (2003, 2007) and in the wet years (2008, 2013, 2014). The heaviest losses from droughts are from 30% up to total loss of the crop. In 2003 and 2007 (spring drought)s losses in grain production in Ukraine amounted to more than 3 bln. Euro. 19 May 2016
Monitoring of droughts in Ukraine is carried out by hydrometeorological stations Collection and automated processing of information Generalization, systematization, analysis, use in drought models Preparing expert opinions and recommendations Informing consumers of different levels 20 May 2016
Collection and processing of agrometeorological information in Ukraine Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center Control synthesis, the use of service Regional Hydrometeorological Centre (25) Control, synthesis, transfer to Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, the use of service Meteorological station area (188/135) Meteorological, phenological observations, identification of stocks of productive moisture in the soil, the transfer to a Regional Hydrometeorological Centre 21 May 2016

Мониторинг и прогноз с/х засух в Украине и Молдове As part of the pilot project of the Integrated Drought Management Programme in Central and Eastern Europe: The agroclimatic zoning of the territory of Ukraine and the Dniester Basin was updated, drought increasing risk maps were made. The guidelines for drought management plans was adapted and published in the Ukrainian language. The drought indices were reviewed. The calculation of the SPI was introduced in operational practice. The "automated assessment of drought in Ukraine" model was upgraded, which increased the accuracy of the estimates of losses of winter wheat and spring barley. 29 May 2016
New agroclimatic zoning HTCs (ГТК) Aridity <0.7 very arid 0.71-1 moderately arid 1.01-1.2 slightly humid 1.21-1.8 sufficiently humid > 1.81 humid 30 May 2016
