water-planning and management processes is
equally driven by supranational directives such as
the European Union (EU)’s Water Framework
Directive (EU 2000, 2002), national policies such
as the Australian National Water Initiative (Council
of Australian Governments 2004), and championed
as a key underlying principle in integrated water
resources management

1997–2000, defining many of the already mapped faults, is shown colour coded
according to age. Events with M>5 are shown as stars. The outline of the South Iceland
Seismic Zone (SISZ) is shown with orange dashed lines. Test sites are marked on the map

mechanisms and the relationship between b-values and source depth
is examined. During the analysis period, three major swarms were recorded. Two of the
swarms, in 1994 and 1999–2000, occurred in the upper crust and were accompanied by
crustal deformation. No uplift was detected during the third swarm, which occurred in
1996 near the crust mantle boundary, between 19 and 25 km depth

in the Southwest. The weather in December was stormy.
The year 2015 was the coldest in Iceland since 2000, but this period has generally been abnormally warm so the average temperature was close to the 1961-1990 mean. In most parts of the country the precipitation was well above normal.
Temperature
The average temperature in Reykjavík was 4.5°C, 0.2°C above the 1961-1990 mean. This is the 20th

There are about 30 known central volcanoes, or volcanic systems, in Iceland. Bárðarbunga, the second highest mountain of Iceland; ca 2000 meters above sea-level, is one of them. The volcano is placed
