It is also agreed that human activities are the most important causes of these climatic variations, and that water resources are already suffering and will continue to be greatly impaired as a consequence of these changes. In particular, it is probable that areas with limited water resources will expand and that an increase of global water demand will occur, estimated to be around 35 60 % by 2025 as a consequence of population growth and the competing needs of water uses. This will cause a growing imbalance between water demand including the needs of nature and supply. This urgency demands that climate change impacts on water be evaluated in different sectors using a cross cutting approach Contestabile in Nat Clim Chang 3 11 12, 2013 . These issues were examined by the EU FP7 funded Co ordination and support action ClimateWater bridging the gap between adaptation strategies of climate change impacts and European water policies . The project studied adaptation strategies to minimize the water related consequences of climate change and assessed how these strategies should be taken into consideration by European policies. This article emphasizes that knowledge gaps still exist about the direct effects of climate change on water bodies and their indirect impacts on production areas that employ large amounts of water e.g., agriculture . Some sectors, such as ecohydrology and alternative sewage treatment technologies, could represent a powerful tool to mitigate climate change impacts. Research needs in these still novel fields are summarized. 56 Published version https //biblioproxy.cnr.it 2280/article/10.1007%2Fs00267 015 0544 7 Climate Change and European Water Bodies, a Review of Existing Gaps and Future Research Needs Findings of the ClimateWater Project 10.1007_s00267 015 0544 7 cart .pdf Articolo in rivista Springer 0364 152X Environmental management N.
