With the title 'Local hydro-morphology, habitat and RBMPs: new measures to improve ecological quality in South European rivers and lakes' INHABIT(LIFE LIFE08 ENV/IT/000413) aimed at integrating infor-mation on local hydro-morphological and habitat features into practical measures to improve the relia-bility of implementation of WFD River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) in South Europe. The focus was on rivers and lakes that were scrutinized in two areas in Italy, covering a wide range of environmen-tal features and water body types. For habitat issues, the outcome of the project have complemented the implementation of Water Framework Directive river basin management plans over larger areas in Italy and, possibly, other European regions, especially in the South. INHABIT is a common project of CNR-IRSA, CNR-ISE, ARPA Piemonte and Regione Autonoma della Sardegna. This contribution is basi-cally derived from the Layman Report in order to provide to the international audience a quick and ef-fective overview on the INHABIT project
Il progetto INHABIT (LIFE08 ENV/IT/000413), dal titolo 'Idromorfologia locale, habitat e Piani di Gestione: nuove misure per migliorare la qualità ecologica in fiumi e laghi sud europei' ha il principale scopo di inte-grare l'informazione di habitat e idromorfologia locale in misure pratiche per l'implementazione dei Piani di Gestione (RBMPs) in Sud Europa. Sono stati analizzati fiumi e laghi, di un ampio gradiente ambientale e comprensivi di diversi tipi di corpi idrici, di due regioni italiane: Piemonte e Sardegna. Per gli aspetti di habitat il progetto è stato di complemento all'implementazione dei Piani di gestione in accordo alla Diretti-va Quadro sulle Acque. INHABIT è un progetto comune di CNR-IRSA, CNR-ISE, ARPA Piemonte e Regione Autonoma della Sardegna. Questo contributo è tratto dal Layman's report con l'obiettivo di fornire alla platea internazionale una rapida e efficace sintesi degli obiettivi e dei risultati del progetto
