The FIRMA project , 1 March 1999 – 28 February 2003, was concerned with improving water resource planning by developing and applying agent-based modelling to integrate physical, hydrological, social and economic aspects of water resource management.

The FIRMA Project was supported by European Union’s Framework 5 Programme for Research and Development, and by the European Commission as part of its Key Action on Sustainable Management and Quality of Water programme (contract EVK1-CT1999-00016)
