-**Description**: This Task will facilitate access to runoff data for use in the ECOOP observing and
+**How**:
-forecasting system. The activities are: identifying the relevant data sources and their providers
-(catalogue), establishing effective methods for getting data from the providers to the ECOOP users
-and putting into effect actual data streams for the major sources. This work is necessary for ECOOP
-because fresh water fluxes to the coastal seas, and the accompanying nutrient and pollutant loads,
-are important for accurate monitoring and forecasting the coastal zone ecosystem, pollutant fate as
-well as for coastal flood management. Observing systems are fragmented, even within nations, and
-the data are difficult to access, especially in near-real-time (NRT). Efforts towards integrating
-observations have been mainly focused on hydrology and river flooding, not coastal monitoring.
-Consequently, predictive coastal ocean models usually rely on simple approximations of river
-runoff, such as climatologies. Integration is necessary since fresh water effects on the coastal seas
-are intrinsically trans-boundary.
-Given the fragmented state of the European river observing system, this task will work through the

-association memberships. The task team therefore includes a key member from each regional
-association plus a task leader. Each regional partner will liaise closely with their association
-membership in carrying out the Work. This will ensure that the resulting data provision system is
-properly tuned to the needs of the regional users and that it will optimally benefit those users. This
-approach builds on early initiatives within some of the associations, e.g., a project with similar
-objectives has been started in NOOS as a "best endeavours" activity. The Task will cover both
-archived and on-line data, volume flux, nutrient and pollutant loads, but the focus will be on
-implementing a NRT data access to fresh water volume flux, since this is the basic time-critical data
-stream.

-  * Evaluate the river runoff data, regional and pan-European, including volume transport and nutrient/pollutant loads.
-  * Investigate the availability of both archived time series and data sources with near-real-time (NRT).
-  * Use as an important source of information the Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC). Add additional information from the regional association memberships.
-  * Catalogue the information to be available to coastal users.
-  * Establish an optimal list of observation stations for rivers influencing the coastal and regional seas (ECOOP River Station Lists).
-  * Define an optimal list of the initial NRT data sets for the “ECOOP Data Management System” .
-  * Clarify data policy issues within the various regions;
-  * Define data transfer procedures from data providers to the ECOOP DMS;
-  * Adopt data formats and procedures defined for the ECOOP DMS;
-  * Clarify data exchange requirements in the regional associations;
-  *Initial tests of the data flow procedures on representative sources in each region.
-  * Contact identified data providers, both directly and through national members of the regional EuroGOOS associations, and initiate data delivery to the EDMS under the agreed terms.
-  * Identify a test provider able to provide NRT data early in the project period. Test the data acquisition and interfacing procedures (cf. subtask 2.5.2) on this data stream.
