Bayesian networks were used in order to facilitate problem definition and in search for
efficient measures, including diagnoses of causes and effects and uncertainties measures on identified
indicators. The case as one of four European cases gave input to design of guidelines for the use of Bayesian
networks as a participatory tool for water resources management (The FP5 EU research project MERIT

This will require:
That all service is bound by defined and efficient work procedures
That all service stands up to quality requirements
Throughout the world, quality certificates for the operation of meteorological offices are important, both to improve

The expected effects of a changing climate in Nordic countries imply among others a
higher frequency of bad road conditions in winter, a higher frequency of more serious
wear and tear of infrastructure and equipment, higher risks for large scale impact events

into a proglacial lakes. A glacier that surges into a proglacial lake displaces part of the lake water, which can then flow away and cause a flood. The surge of Hagafellsjökull eystri into Hagafellsvatn in 1999 is an example of this type of event. A small jökulhlaup can furthermore potentially be produced at the end of a surge when an efficient channelized subglacial drainage system redevelops
