quired.
The real-time monitoring and interpretation of geophysical data
were made accessible to the public via the internet. Both automatic
and manually checked earthquake locations were displayed on
maps, updated every five minutes. Also, cGPS time series were
mapped showing deformation in the area.

1. Introduction
New guidelines on water resources management emphasise
the importance of integrated approaches, cross-sectoral plan-
ning and of public participation (GWP, 2000; EC, 2003;
Jønch-Clausen, 2004). The commonly accepted approach inte-
grated water resources management (IWRM) is defined
