The GLOWA (Global Change and the Hydrological Cycle) programme is an example of integrative interdisciplinary and application oriented global change research. The aim of GLOWA is to develop simulation-tools and instruments which will allow to develop and to realize strategies for sustainable and future-oriented water management at regional level (case studies in Europe, Africa and the Middle east).
