Stress factors and associated physically based criteria and conclusions on the directions to be followed for developing a physically based vulnerability assessment method

The specific results and outcomes of this deliverable is the proposition of a methodological framework for groundwater vulnerability assessment to any kind of stress factors, from a physically-based point of view. This methodology is in addition compatible with the well-known EU DPSIR framework for analysis from a physical and socio-economical perspective, environmental problems.
From a more generic perspective, this deliverable provides a very convenient and rigorous framework for integrating the various research components developed within the project, into a decision support system, integrating environmental problems, data, processes and models, and socio-economical aspects.
