This research work aims at estimating the water balance regime as an aspect of the integrated management of surface and groundwater resources in Argolis in Greece, while the region’s economy is strictly connected with the availability of fresh water. The analysis concerning the water supply estimation - both for the current period and for future projections taking into account climate change scenarios (HadCM2) - was held using a monthly water balance model. The assessment of water resources potential led to the necessity of adoption management practices and some suggestions are presented, including a multicriteria analysis for the re-planning of the region’s station network.
