vanced with these events. In addition, before the unrest, a variety of
new instruments were installed around the Vatnajökull ice cap by
collaborators in the research project Futurevolc.
During the period of unrest, the Department of Civil Protection and
Emergency Management met regularly with scientists to discuss the

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

to drier summers, irrigation volumes increased by up to 90%
compared to current values. Changing the land use from grass to forest had a minor effect
on groundwater recharge, whereas CO2 effects on transpiration resulted in a relatively
large increase in recharge. This study has shown that climate change has the most
substantial effect on the hydrology in this catchment, whereas other factors
