Abstract:
The land use and land cover (LULC) changes have influenced the water quality. Thus, addressing LULC can lead to the understanding of the actual problems and how to avoid future water stress problems. This paper presents a model that integrates land use and land cover changes (LUCC), and their impacts on water quality. The model is tested for the main drinking water reserve for Continental Portugal, the Castelo de Bode Dam located in the Zêzere watershed. This work integrates the specifications of SmartOpenData Project (SmOD), and is strictly related to the work developed in the eEnvPlus, and TerAGUA projects. It considers INSPIRE Directive specifications, and those related to linked open data integration. The results obtained so far address the most relevant LULC changes in Portugal, but can easily be applied to study the problem in other countries, allowing the creation of guidelines for spatial planning integrating the concerns of the Water Framework Directive
