on parameters of the hydrologic cycle: on water reservoir, water demand and water supply trends, on their impact on the resource, the adaptation to climate change, the conflicts which may result
on energy storage
on sources of renewable energy in agriculture and forestry and on the development of a strategy for the use of such sources in the same field
on the hydro-energetic potential of rivers
Identifying knowledge deficits
