10 Hydrological Impacts of Climate Changes in Romania

measures. To this end, we consider that a better collaboration is needed between the
research/academic institutions and stakeholders/authorities responsible for designing
and implementing adaptation measures to climate changes (at different spatial scales).
We also believe that it is necessary a cooperation between the research/academic
institution and those holding hydro-climatic database, based on agreements, which
facilitate the use of the database for scientific purposes. In this way it will be possible to use more effectively the hydro-climatic database nationwide, for studying
climate change and their effects. It is desirable that the research results on this topic
be integrated into a national platform accessible to all those interested.
Acknowledgements The authors address special thanks to Prof. Dr. Stuart Lane and Dr. Daniela
Balin from University of Lausanne, Faculty of Geosciences and Environment, for their scientific
and technical support regarding the application of the hydrological model WaSiM, during a research
project funded through the Sciex-NMSch Programme.
