The Eulakes project carried out innovative research in many fields and subjects, and the goal of the “Eulakes model” is to offer the lake stakeholders a practical and easily accessible tool to rapidly find all the new information produced, as well as to show the outputs in a geographical way on a base map with the ability of carrying out geographical queries and to extract personalized information for each location of interest.

Abstract

The Eulakes project carried out innovative research in many fields and subjects, and the goal of the “Eulakes model” is to offer the lake stakeholders a practical and easily accessible tool to rapidly find all the new information produced, as well as to show the outputs in a geographical way on a base map with the ability of carrying out geographical queries and to extract personalized information for each location of interest. The goal is also to offer a tool by which the lake stakeholders can learn about mitigation and adaptation strategies specifically studied for their lake, in order to support decision makers and environmental governance agencies for ecosystem-based management of the lakes. The model consists of 5 main sections: In the first section “overview of the outputs” the user can find extracts of all the project core outputs, divided in the subsection past, present, future and lake management. This section is meant to give the user an overview of the work done and to access to the results rapidly. If the topic is of interest, the user will then be able to download the full report. In the second section, “search engine” the user will rapidly be directed to the information search just by entering a few keywords and/or the lake of interest. The third section hosts a proper webGIS, where the user will be able to visualize geographically the results and query the data. In the OGC services section (fourth section), all the base layers and geographically referenced project results are available to be used through WMS and WFS OGC services. Here the user can find more information, preview the layers and get the capabilities. The fifth section hosts three different prediction models: the first 2 models, developed by Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM), predict the interactions between chlorophyll, phosphorous and water transparency, based on the OECD equations, and the cyanobacteria concentration in correlation with phosphorus and chlorophyll presence; the third model, developed by Lake Balaton Development Coordination Agency (LBDCA), predicts chlorophyll concentration through a deterministic phosphorus cycle model based on lake basin segmentation, respective nutrient loads and hydro-meteorological conditions utilizing climate change predictions produced in the Eulakes project. The Eulakes-model was created as a common effort by all the partners involved in the Eulakesproject, with the specific goal to produce an easy-to-use framework of tools in which all the outputs produced throughout the Eulakes projects working packages could be easily accessed and interlinked together.
