The objectives of the Med-HYCOS project were to achieve:

  1. Modernization of hydrometeorological monitoring in the Mediterranean Basin;
  2. Pooling of resources for data processing in combination with satellite data;
  3. A better understanding of hydrometeorological phenomena and environmental trends; and
  4. The free exchange of environmental data.

In developmental and economic terms the project provided a firm basis for water resources monitoring, assessment and management at both national and regional levels, and contributed to knowledge of hydrological processes in their interaction with the climate and environment.
