  abstract = {{I}n 2011, the {E}uropean {C}ouncil stressed the significance of water quality for sustainable development in {E}urope and emphasized the need for better integration of the water policy objectives into the {C}ommon {A}griculture {P}olicy reform in rural areas. {S}ince 2000, the {W}ater {F}ramework {D}irective ({WFD}) has required the {EU} {M}ember {S}tates to target good ecological status for their water bodies. {H}owever, the implementation of the {D}irective for the numerous {M}editerranean temporary streams has been delayed indicating the need for elaboration of the tools and methods that address the special characteristics of such water bodies. {T}his requirement has been addressed by the recently completed {MIRAGE} project. {I}n the context of the recent publication of the {E}uropean {C}ommission's {B}lueprint to {S}afeguard {E}urope's {W}aters, the {MIRAGE}-proposed framework for the characterization of the eco-hydrological dynamics and the systematic description of the measured impact for temporary rivers could bring considerable added value to the {EU} revision of all relevant water policies. {T}he project recommends additions to {WFD} articles including an explicit definition of temporary rivers, adaptation of environmental objectives to their peculiarities and establishment of a proper method to determine the initial status and specific actions in {R}iver {B}asin {M}anagement {P}lans.},
