We need some extra time for: WP04:DATA • Data catalogue, Meta data, units, definitions, documentation • GIS data: • Land use/land cover classification:CORINE X.x(x) • Soil classification Case Studies: Indicators, scenarios (UATLA comments)
SMART: Project Overview • 3 year duration to August 2005 • Started: September 2002 • Current PM: 18 of 36 Or more than 50%
SMART: Work Plan Phases • Requirements analysis, data availability, specifications • Data compilation, tool development • Parallel case studies • Comparative evaluation, dissemination.
SMART: Milestones 1 PM 09 End of preparatory phase, first workshop – DELAYED (1 month) 2 PM 12 Methods and tools prototypes ready, start of operational phase 3 PM 18 Case studies implemented, first results of scenario analysis 4 PM 24 Analysis and assessment phase initiated 5 PM 30 Case studies completed, final comparative analysis 6 PM 36 Project and reporting completed
SMART: work packages WP 01: Requirements and constraints analysis completed
SMART: work packages WP 02: Socio-economic framework and guidelines nominally completed, indicator definitions and data compilation/analysis not yet completed
SMART: work packages WP 03: Analytical tools, models SOGREAH, PM 3-18 Subtasks for • TELEMAC • WaterWare (RRM), LUC (new) Nominally completed, WW implementations ongoing, but several detailed data sets missing
SMART: work packages WP 04: Data compilation and analysis SUMER leads, PM 6-24 Includes parallel sub-tasks, one for each case study/country (Should have) started by February 2003, 12 months ago
SMART: WP04 • Develop meta-data structure • Formats, technical specifications • Coverage and resolution (space and time) • Develop checklists • Monitor compilation • DATA BASE IMPLEMENTATION (with ESS) • Comparative analysis (completeness, consistency, plausibility)
SMART: WP04 OBJECTIVE and PRODUCT: Common, consistent data base Extensive documentation/Meta data! On-line access and analysis Accessible from the project web site with interactive display and basic on-line analysis tools: GIS, TimeSeries Map server at CEDARE – Egypt CS example on-line !
SMART: WP04 • Common Land Use classification (CORINE) • Common soil classification (FAO) • INDICATORS (WP2/WP10):FEEM/UATLA
SMART: WP05-9 Scenario definitions: • Base line • Business as usual • Worst case • Optimistic
Scenarios (UATLA comments) Conversion into a database is impossible with current data; There is no quantitative data for Jordan (only schematic description of each scenario); The variables used differ between cases, NO consistent/comparable set of indicators yet; For some issues important for the scenarios there is no information; Some countries use quantitative data and others qualitative data for the same variables.
SMART: work packages WP 05 – 09 Case Studies Respective partner, PM 12-30, Overlaps with data compilation Actual case study work to have start in September 2003 WHICH WAS 6 MONTHS AGO !!!
SMART: work packages WP 10: Comparative analysis FEEM, PM 24-36 Requires input from all case studies (FEEM presentation) Based on indicators and scenario definitions (UATLA comments: behind schedule)
SMART: work packages WP 11: Dissemination and exploitation ESS, PM 3-36 (Web server) EXPLOITATION STRATEGIES: UPDATES for the plans per partner and country: next 6 monthly Report DUE NOW.
WP 11: Dissemination • Web site (images, links, contributions: don’t be shy, please do send material such as case study descriptions/extensions !!! • Discussion Forum • Meetings, conferences, scientific and technical literature (CONFERENCES ?) • Local workshops • NETWORKING • Informal network, start with a commonaddress data base – on-line ? NOTHING SUBMITTED YET ?????
WP 11: Dissemination • Web site, other material ? • Meeting, conferences, scientific and technical literature • Local dissemination workshops (planning ?) • SMART: the eBook ?
STATUS SUMMARY: • Immediate requirement: PPR • Several delays: • Data, indicators and scenarios • WRM/RRM implementation • LUC data and implementation • Next Deliverable (WP 4) by PM 24 (September) with next PPR and CS 2 (better timing please!) • Main set of Deliverables within one year (PM 30)
