综合项目“AquaTerra”的全称是“河流-沉积物-土壤-地下水系统综合建模;在全球变化背景下管理集水区和河流流域的先进工具”，是欧洲联盟第六个框架方案内的首批环境项目之一。从2004年6月开始，来自12个欧盟国家、罗马尼亚、瑞士、塞尔维亚和黑山的45个伙伴组织组成了一个多学科小组。AquaTerra是一个雄心勃勃的项目，其主要目标是为更好地了解环境污染物的行为及其在土壤-沉积物-水系统中的通量与气候和土地利用变化的关系奠定基础。该项目对河流-沉积物-土壤-地下水系统进行研究和建模，方法是量化沉积、吸附和周转率，并开发数字模型，以揭示土壤和沉积物功能的通量和趋势。从实验室到河流流域的规模都得到了解决，有可能改善河流流域管理，加强土壤和地下水监测，并及早查明和预测对水量和水质的影响。研究区域是埃布罗河、默兹河、易北河和多瑙河以及布雷维尔泉的集水区。在这里，我们概述了该项目的总体结构和在AquaTerra现有的11个子项目中进行的活动。
The integrated project “AquaTerra” with the full title “integrated modeling of the river–sediment–soil–groundwater system; advanced tools for the management of catchment areas and river basins in the context of global change” is among the first environmental projects within the sixth Framework Program of the European Union. Commencing in June 2004, it brought together a multidisciplinary team of 45 partner organizations from 12 EU countries, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia and Montenegro. AquaTerra is an ambitious project with the primary objective of laying the foundations for a better understanding of the behavior of environmental pollutants and their fluxes in the soil–sediment–water system with respect to climate and land use changes. The project performs research as well as modeling on river–sediment–soil–groundwater systems through quantification of deposition, sorption and turnover rates and the development of numerical models to reveal fluxes and trends in soil and sediment functioning. Scales ranging from the laboratory to river basins are addressed with the potential to provide improved river basin management, enhanced soil and groundwater monitoring as well as the early identification and forecasting of impacts on water quantity and quality. Study areas are the catchments of the Ebro, Meuse, Elbe and Danube Rivers and the Brévilles Spring. Here we outline the general structure of the project and the activities conducted within eleven existing sub-projects of AquaTerra.
