Central Europe, the focus region of this study, is a region in transition,
climatically from maritime to continental and politically from formerly more
planning-oriented to more market-oriented management regimes, and in terms of
climate change from regions of increasing precipitation in the west and north
of Europe to regions of decreasing precipitation in central and southern
Europe. The Elbe basin, a trans-boundary catchment flowing from the Czech
Republic through Germany into the North Sea, was selected to investigate the
possible impacts of global change on crop yields and water resources in this
region.

For technical reasons, the paper has been split into two parts, the first
showing the overall model concept, the model set-up for the agricultural
sector, and first results linking eco-hydrological and agro-economic tools
for the German part of the basin. The second part describes the model set-up
for simulating water supply and demand linking eco-hydrological and water
management tools for the entire basin including the Czech part.
