frame given in the task refers to 20 years in the foreseeable future, we--- as a compulsory part of
the competent authority (leading agency), who is entitled the legal mandate to facilitate
implementation of stakeholder involvement and ultimate performance of the outcome of the
adaptation plan--- will not confine ourselves to the predefined time frame due

currents. Because of the wide range of likely flow rheologies, three Manning's n values are assessed: 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 s/m1/3. Results indicate that a large part of the lowland between the rivers Skaftafellsá and Breiðá (350 km2) is susceptible to flooding because of jökulhlaups descending the western and southern slopes of Öræfajökull. Characterised by average flow velocities in excess of 20 m/s

Groundwater pollution by salt, nutrients, pesticides, and contaminants from landfills
Changing groundwater table which likely due to more abstraction
Droughts due to rising temperature
An adaptive management is needed to be applied to address those climate change effects. In this study, we
developed scenarios for 50 years time frame to support a 20 years adaptive
