13 2. History of Integrated River Basin Management Planning in Hungary

14 New regional water management planning (IRBMP) procedures in Hungary from 1993 draft general guidelines on IRBMP 33 river sub-catchment units 7 pilot river basin management plans Hortobágy-Berettyó River Basin; Hungarian Part of the Maros River Basin; Felső Bácska River Basin; Sajó-Bodva River Basin; Hungarian Part of the Hernád River Basin; Általér River Basin; Lónyai Main-channel Basin

16 The major elements of the RBM planning process according to the Hungarian guidelines production of a draft Consultation Report; internal consultation within the Regional Water Authorities, adding amendments to the Report; production of the Consultation Report; Public involvement, adding amendments to the Report; production of the Final Plan; regular monitoring and reviewing of the RBMP.

17 3. River Basin Management Planning in Hungary according to the EU Water Framework Directive European IRBM Model?

18

19 Important and covered by the WFD: Monitoring and assessment of chemical and ecological status of surface waters chemical and quantity status of ground waters quality of bathing waters, quality of surface waters used for drinking water abstraction Important, but not covered by the WFD: Monitoring of quality of waters used for economic purposes (irrigation, industry) Monitoring of quantity of waters for flood protection, drainage, irrigation, navigation, recreation etc.

20 Important and covered by the WFD: planning the programmes of measures to achieve the environmental objectives Important, but not covered by the WFD: planning the programmes of measures to achieve the economic and social objectives

21 Objectives of the Water Framework Directive-WFD Good status of surface waters (good chemical status - good ecological status) Good status of heavily modified water bodies (good chemical status - good ecological potencial) Good status of ground waters (good chemical status - good quantitative status)

22 RBMP under WFD Designation of RBM units and competent authorities Designation of protected areas Analysis of pressures and impacts Economic analyses Preparation of monitoring programmes Identification of status of water Identification of environmental objectives Identification of programmes of measures

23 FD Article 13: River Basin Management Plans. River basin management plans may be upplemented by the production of more detailed programmes and management plans for sub-basin, sector, issue, or water type, o deal with particular aspects of water management. ational RBMP guidance documents for planning the rogrammes of measures to achieve the economic and ocial objectives

24 Planning the measures to achieve the social and economic objectives in Hungary Vasarhelyi Plan for flood management in the Tisza Basin Climate change strategy Drought management strategy National Rural Development Plan etc.

25 RELATIONSHIPS between RBMP under EU WFD and under national guidelines WFD: environmental and economic limitations for the planning of water use and water services (flood protection, drainage etc.) Environmental limitations: Analysis of pressures and impacts Economic limitations: Economic analysis - (full) cost recovery - cost-efficient approaches Assessment of past, present and future water resources and water demands

26 River basin management approaches in large international river basins

27 THREE LEVEL RBMP in the DANUBE BASIN Level Danube river basin level Bilateral/multilateral level National level Amount of coordination limit to the absolutely necessary (issues affecting the whole DRB) a lot (in case of transboundary effects) for all issues regarding implementation

28 4. Conclusions

29 Importance of integration of water and other policies: CAP/RDP WFD Dialogue of WWF ICID - GWP EU TEN/navigation Renewable Energy Policy hydropower Climate Change Policy Flood Management Policy Drought/Scarcity Strategy Recreation/public access to water Dredging guidance

30 Importance of Public Participation HARCOP social learning/conflict resolution Importance of capacity building 128 hours intensive course in Hungary in 2005 for 170 staff members of public administration for environment/water/nature protection
