Ecosystem approach to water resources management using the MIKE 11 modeling system in the Strymonas River and Lake Kerkini

► MIKE 11 is used to assess the water resources in the Strymonas River catchment. ► Catchment runoff and unsteady water flow in surface water bodies are simulated. ► Water level scenarios to protect the riparian forest of Lake Kerkini are applied. ► The analysis of pressures exert on irrigation and the Strymonas estuary ecosystem.
