Ensure water in sufficient quantity and quality-adjusted to the requirements of ecosystems and the various human uses under increasing pressure and anthropogenic climate change is one of the challenges facing humanity. The fact that over 50% of the world’s population live in coastal areas makes them particularly vulnerable to these threats. Ecohydrology for sustainability is a priority of Hydrological Program of UNESCO. The International Centre for Coastal Ecohydrology of UNESCO will aim at supporting member states of UNESCO in implementing solutions based on ecohydrology to meet the challenges of ecological sustainability, economic and social development.

The ICCE was invited to conduct studies in collaboration with various entities related to water management:
* Contamination of groundwater by hydrocarbons in the aquifer system of Sines (ARH - Alentejo);
* Ecological classification of Algarve coastal and transitional waters (ARH-Algarve)
* Ecological Characterization of Algarve Streams (ARH - Algarve)
* Morphological study of the inlet S.Luís tidal flood delta – Ria Formosa barrier islands system (CIMA and ICCE)
* Technical Analysis of requests for evidence of Water Resources (ARH - Algarve); The ICCE is a member of the winning consortium for the development of the Management Plan of the Tagus river-basin, in partnership with LNEC and the company HIDROPROJECTO;
