D5.2 Initial preparatory report on the assessment of the replicability

A theoretical approximation on the effectiveness of the new approaches and techniques developed in D4RUNOFF will be elaborated to be applied in any EU/international scenario and tested in a series of replication sites. To spread D4RUNOFF conclusions, 5 replication sites were selected to theoretically assess the methodology. As a first step, a short checklist will determine if the basic conditions for exploring replicability on a site are met. Once this first step is fulfilled ongoing contact should be established with a representative or working group representing the main stakeholders in the site. A questionnaire of the data and information required to apply the methodology developed in D4RUNOFF (such as the MCDA methodology, online sensors, the application of the platform, etc.) will be created. Then the availability of the data necessary for the replication of D4RUNOFF activities will be evaluated at each replication site and will allow determining whether it is theoretically possible to propose replication.
