The project work
has concentrated mainly on four examples of deep European lakes which are important
for water extraction and which have already been subject to intensive,
but individual scientific and management activities (see table below).

All these lakes have
been investigated in an integrated way in connection with their respective
catchment areas in an interdisciplinary approach in close co-ordination
with stakeholders and existing water management bodies and authorities.
For specific tasks relevant experiences have been drawn also from work concerning
the following sites which are being investigated and used specifically
as water resources of the cities of Warsaw and Tampere respectively:
