This report summarizes the main transnational strategic planning questions based on the results and outputs of CC WARE project. A common strategic planning methodology is used for addressing the transnational elements of a strategy for mitigating vulnerability of safe drinking water supply (DWSUP) under climate change in South-Eastern Europe (SEE). In the present context transnational strategy combines global (or EU level) coordination and efforts to attain efficient vulnerability mitigation with flexibility to meet specific needs in SEE countries. Namely, the different actual natural and economic conditions, and the governing/legislative structure of the countries must be accounted for to obtain realistic and realisable national action plans. The report is intended to help developing and implementing national/regional strategies leading to action plans to reduce drinking water vulnerability. In addition to drinking water resource assessment, the role of different ecosystem services, water demand, raw water treatment, water distribution, socio-economic conditions, regulations and governance is considered to provide an integrated approach The planning horizon of the strategy is the middle of the XXI century; thus the impacts of changing climate and land use need to be considered for this timeframe. The report utilizes results of the characterisation and mapping of vulnerability (WP3), a summary of existing regulations and a review of management options for mitigating vulnerability (WP4). The additional information on actual governance stems from partner countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia), in form of questionnaires.

... Decreases of the water table, reduction of water resources, reduced spring discharge and reduced river flows have been documented in many parts of the world over the last decades (Collins, 2008;Aguilera and Murillo, 2009;Hidalgo et al., 2009;Piao et al., 2010;Jiménez Cisneros et al., 2014). Concerns over the negative impacts of climate change on groundwater and water resources specifically in Europe have been raised in several studies (Brouyère et al., 2004;Yustres et al., 2013;Cen cur Curk et al., 2014;Kløve et al., 2014;Pr av alie, 2014;Pr av alie et al., 2014). Further contributing to negative impacts of climate change on groundwater quality are increases of groundwater temperature (Taylor and Stefan, 2009;Kløve et al., 2014) and subsequent changes to chemical reactions that occur in soils (Figura et al., 2011;Haldorsen et al., 2012;Kløve et al., 2012). ...

... The other form of evapotranspiration is potential evapotranspiration (PET), which can be calculated by using the mean monthly by the Thornthwaite method. This method is much more suitable at the regional scale for climatological, hydrogeological, and agricultural studies (Zhao et al. 2013;Cen cur et al. 2014;Cheval et al. 2017). ...
