The transfer includes the transfer of results to other areas with good infrastructure and long-term management experience in a regional context (Capodifume and Lez catchment areas) , and secondly the generalization of the indicators and the optimization process as a method. A rating matrix is created that groups the sites according to the catchment area, soils, rainfall distribution patterns and assigns indicators to the respective combinations. This evaluation matrix is applied to selected, international, large-scale carbonated aquifers with high water-economic relevance and a Mediterranean climate pattern. An important role in the generalization of the results is remote sensing as it provides soil-specific baseline characteristics on a regional scale and transfers regional results to sites with comparable properties worldwide.
