FCM description: 

A cognitive map of the basin is presented in the figure. The map reflects the interactions and dynamics in the basin based on the understanding by stakeholders. The map is centered around the three challenges described in the narrative document and the cognitive map includes eighteen (18) factors connected with each other. Based on stakeholders comments, five main drivers of the system were identified (precipitation, industrial production, wind, water infrastructure and forest management, river basin management, and air temperature in growing season) that affect either directly the aforementioned challenges in the basin (water availability, flood damages and water quality) or indirectly through several (9) factors. The definitions and the interrelationships between the factors of the basin are presented in the Tables I1 & I2 of the Annex in the above commented documen, as well as further information on the basin dynamics and characteristics. Additionally, visual relationaships between factors and their description and comments can be seen in the "Current Basin Status" section below.
