AMICE est l'acronyme du projet européen A coordinated strategy for the adaptation of the Meuse to the impacts of climate evolutions on floods and low-flows.

Description du projet (en anglais) :
Climate change experts are increasingly pointing-out the importance of adaptation to anticipated changes, as opposed to waiting until impacts are irreversible. Consequences of climate change on river basins can be potentially catastrophic.

The Meuse is a transnational, navigable river, one of the largest in NWE, with a catchment basin incorporating 5 Member States, situated in a densely populated area of NWE. Its discharge fluctuates considerably with seasons: it reached 3100 m3/s in winter 1993 at the Dutch/Walloon border and is only 10-40 m3/s in summers. Classed as a rain-fed river, it has no glacier and little groundwater storage capacity to buffer precipitations. A direct link exists between climate evolutions and changes in high & low-flows, putting at risk the assets of the basin, including major infrastructures, industries, priceless historical and ecological heritage.

The aims of AMICE, which unites public authorities, universities & NGOs from 5 NWE regions, are:

  • develop a basin-wide climate adaptation strategy, coordinated transnationally, focused on water discharges and the functions influenced by them. The strategy development will take into account climate scenarios, on-going projects, existing measures and the EU Floods Directive (2007/60/EC), with a particular focus on floods & low-flows.
  • realise a set of measures against low-flows & floods, profitable for the international basin of the Meuse and that can be used by other river basins in NWE.
  • reinforce and widen the partnership between stakeholders of the Meuse basin, and increase the exchange of knowledge and experience on prevention, preparedness and protection against flood & drought risks.
  • engage the local population and stakeholders by improving their understanding of climate change, sustainable development, catchment basin functioning, risk consciousness of water hazards and the sense of belonging to a common river basin, across administrative and language borders.
