As part of the WATExR project, we have developed tools for seasonal forecasting of river discharge, lake water temperature, ecology and fish phenology. The aim is for stakeholders to have access to probabilistic aquatic forecasts driven by state-of-the-art seasonal climate projections. Forecasts provide an indication of the expected average environmental conditions during the coming 1 to 9 months.
Forecasting tools were developed for five pilot case sites, one in Australia and four in Europe.

This is a contribution of the WATExR project (watexr.eu/), which is part of ERA4CS, an ERA-NET initiated by JPI Climate, and funded by MINECO-AEI (ES), FORMAS (SE), BMBF (DE), EPA (IE), RCN (NO), and IFD (DK), with co-funding by the European Union (Grant 690462). MINECO-AEI funded this research through projects PCIN-2017-062 and PCIN-2017-092.
