MONITORING IMPLICATIONS The Water Framework Directive establishes good status objectives to be achieved for all waters by the end of 2015 With regard to surface waters, good status criteria are based on biological parameters (ecological status) and chemical parameters (chemical status) The chemical status is linked to compliance to EU Environmental Quality Standards dened in a daughter directive, which negotiation... purely those of the author and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an ofcial position of the European Commission The Water Framework Directive: Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring Edited by Philippe Quevauviller, Ulrich Borchers, Clive Thompson and Tristan Simonart â 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd ISBN: 978-0-470-51836-6 4 Water Status Monitoring under the WFD The water Management... and ecological potential, and presentation of monitoring results and classication of chemical status In the case of groundwater, requirements include: Parameters for the classication of quantitative status, groundwater level monitoring network, including density of monitoring sites, frequency, and interpretation and presentation of results Parameters for the determination of groundwater chemical status, ... matters, and for surface and groundwater issues, and the Directive introduces a framework for water management based on river basin districts The overriding objective of the policy is the achievement of good status in all waters by the end of 2015 Linked to the WFD objectives are a series of milestones that have to be complied with (such as an analysis of pressures and impacts, and a characterisation of water. .. including soil and sediments The effectiveness of the monitoring programmes, and hence of the overall WFD implementation, will depend highly on the ability of Member States laboratories to measure efciently the status of Community waters (as well as sediments and biota) and changes in this status Measurement data will, therefore, represent the foundation of the water quality evaluation system, on the basis... sustainable water consumption and will contribute to mitigating the effects of oods and droughts Water management policy, as set out in the WFD, is focussed on water as it ows through river basins to the sea, and its provisions apply to all waters inland surface waters, ground waters, transitional (estuarine) and coastal waters An integrated approach is introduced for water quality and water quantity... respect, the legal requirements covered by Annex V for surface waters include: Quality elements for the classication of ecological status for different types of surface water (rivers, lakes, transitional waters, coastal waters, and articial and heavily modied surface water bodies) Normative denitions of ecological status classications (high, good and moderate) for the above types of surface water Monitoring. .. 2.1.5) The Water Framework Directive: Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring Edited by Philippe Quevauviller, Ulrich Borchers, Clive Thompson and Tristan Simonart â 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd ISBN: 978-0-470-51836-6 (a) Geographical features and groundwater contours b) Land use (d) Groundwater chemistry (c) Geology Plate 2 (See Figure 2.3.2) Data assimilation Modelling and identification of current status, ... context, the Water Framework Directive is certainly the rst EU legislative instrument which requires a systematic monitoring of biological, chemical and quantitative parameters in European waters at such a wide geographical scale (covering the territory of the EU and beyond) (European Commission, 2000) The principles are xed in the legislative text and exchanges of information among experts have enabled the . alt="" The Water Framework Directive Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring The Water Framework Directive: Ecological and Chemical Status Monitoring Edited.
