SURUMER - Sustainable Rubber Cultivation in the Mekong Region, Subproject Development and application of a strategic water management system for the protection of water resources in Xishuangbanna (Yunnan, China)

Project


Project code: 01LL0919B
Contract period: 01.12.2011 - 30.11.2016
Budget: 1,035,828 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

The objective is to develop and to apply a sophisticated Water Management Tool (WMT) with a coupled emission/immission-based approach to monitor the water resources in the study region and to protect these water resources against land use pressure, especially through rubber cultivation. Both water quality and quantity aspects will be considered relating to the water bodies as important drinking and process water resources, and to the surface waters as natural habitats. The WMT could be a superior measure to restore and preserve the sustainability of water-related ecosystem services in rubber-dominated regions.
