19 Status assessment All waterbodies shall be assessed Guiding principles produced by the Swedish EPA Finished during 2007 The county administrations assess the waters based on monitoring. Expert judgements are important since measurements are insufficient or not available. The assessments are stored in the database VISS ( )

20 Pressure analysis To propose measures we need to know the anthropogenic pressure now and in the future Survey the society need of water and anthropogenic pressure on the water quality The pressure analysis will be available in VISS Stakeholders from industries, agriculture, forestry and NGOs are important partners in these analysis

21 Ecological status

22 Ground water Chemical status

23 Do we reach Good water status 2015? No! No!

24 At risk surface waters 2015

25 At risk Ground waters 2015

26 Monitoring programmes All swedish monitoring stations and monitorings programmes in water are now available in ONE database VISS. Data is collected from county administrative boards, municipalites, river basin organisations, national institutions and others. A review ot the monitoring programmes according to WFD must be done by 2009

27 Monitoring programmes Övervakningsprogram för ytvatten, grundvatten och skyddade områden i Norra Östersjöns vattendistrikt

28 Programme of measures National Regional Local Coordinated between water districts

29 River Basin Management Plan Work Programme Important issues River Basin Management Plan Mainly according to WFD coordinated between water districts
