From an ICT point of view, the DRIHMS project analyzed the main issues that arise when designing and setting up a pan-European Grid-based e-Infrastructure for research activities in the hydrologic and meteorological fields.

The main outcome of the project is represented first by a set of Grid usage patterns to support innovative hydro-meteorological research activities, and second by the implications that such patterns define for a dedicated Grid infrastructure and the respective Grid architecture. These results has been described in "Towards a Grid Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorological Research" published in the Computer Science Journal.
