Project objectives:
CLARINET is a Concerted Action of the European Commission's Environment and Climate Research and Development Programme.  It’s primary objectives are to develop 
technical recommendations for sound decision making on the rehabilitation of contaminated sites in Europe and to identify research and development needs,
in particular in relation to the EC Fifth Framework Programme (FW5). CLARINET also worked closely with its “sister” network NICOLE (http://www.nicole.org)
in stimulating international collaborative projects for the contaminated land related areas of the FW5
Project Summary:
CLARINET developed the concept of Risk Based Land Management (RBLM) as a step forward towards an integration of sustainable soil quality, protection of water 
and land use management in environmental policy. The aim of the RBLM is to achieve the integration of approaches originating from different perspectives (for
example spatial planning, environmental protection and engineering), based on the identification of common goals:
Achieved Objectives:
CLARINET has been a successful EC project that has drawn on scientists and other experts from 16 countries in Europe to advance the state of the art in contaminated 
land management. A wide range of publications have been produced, which are available on it’s web site (http://www.clarinet.at)
Product Descriptions:
•  CLARINET overall findings:  “Sustainable Management of, Contaminated Land: an Overview”.
