N2 - The aim of this paper is to elaborate strategies, methodologies and techniques for integrated water resource management within the philosophy of the EC Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) for the trans-boundary river basin of Evros which is shared by two EU (Greece, Bulgaria) and an EU-candidate country (Turkey). With the recent comer EU Member States the number of trans-boundary rivers has increased, therefore, management scheme development for trans-boundary rivers gained more importance to implement WFD 2000/60/EC. Development of a sustainable integrated water management (IRWM) scheme is needed by utilizing the multidisciplinary information resulting from the research activities in the similar EU river basins (e.g. the Ebro, Spain), development of a sustainable integrated water management (IRWM) scheme is needed. The IRWM should incorporate quantity and quality aspects, river modelling by taking into account natural disasters of floods and droughts, monitoring of physico-chemical and biological parameters as well as priority substances recently regulated by environmental quality standards regarding WFD 2000/60/EC.
