1 PROTECTION OF GROUNDWATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN AUSTRIA Andreas Scheidleder (Umweltbundesamt)

2 WATER RESOURCES IN AUSTRIA Precipitation Land use Annual average: 1100 mm mm/a < Topography Nitrate in Groundwater

3 GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING NETWORK 138 Groundwater bodies (9 deep) ~ 2000 monitoring sites (chemistry) ~ 3400 monitoring sites (quantity)

4 GROUNDWATER STATUS - DRAFT RBMP 2015 In total 138 Groundwater Bodies in Austria 4 GWBs of Poor Chemical Status 4 GWBs due to Nitrates 1 GWB due to Desethyl-Desisopropylatrazin = ~1,570 km² of 96,000 km² All GWBs are of Good Quanitative Status

5 IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER MANAGEMENT IN AUSTRIA High awareness of impacts of CC on several aspects of Austrian water management due to comprehensive scientific studies, e.g. Effects of Climate Change to the Water Management in Austria (2007) Adaptation Strategies on Climate Change for Water Management in Austria (2011) KlimTour - Effects of Climate Change on the Tyrolean Tourism (2011) Alp Water Scarce ( )

6 CHANGES OF GROUNDWATER TEMPERATURE Analysis of 1170 groundwater sampling sites ( ). More than 50% of the groundwater bodies showed a significant increase of approximately +0.7 C. Good correlation with air temperature.

7 CHANGES EXPECTED UNTIL 2050 WATER TEMPERATURE +1 C air temperature (more increase in summer, less in winter) +0,8 C water temperature, Temperature increase already registered in groundwater PRECIPITATION Prognosis on changes of precipitation are contradictory (Alps are transition area) Less in summer, more in winter. Increase of extremes. Less snow. Local scale deviations from overall tendencies expected.

8 CHANGES EXPECTED UNTIL 2050 GROUNDWATER QUANTITY S and E of Austria: decrease of groundwater renewal rate (due to decreasing winter precipitation) decrease of GW levels possible. N and W of Austria: increase of groundwater renewal rate increased GW levels possible (water in basements) WATER DEMAND Due to abundance of available water, no deficits for covering water supply expected. GROUNDWATER QUALITY Chemical and biological processes near surface will speed up changes in chemical composition. Nevertheless: anthopogenic pressures are more singificant and relevant than climate change effects.

9 LEGAL REGULATIONS Defined in the Austrian Water Act or via Ordinances (e.g. Austrian Ordinance on Groundwater Quality Targets - BGBl. II Nr. 98/2010) Aim that groundwater has drinking water quality. Groundwater threshold values for 27 chemical parameters. Trend and Trend Reversal Assessment. Prevent or limit inputs of pollutants into groundwater. (Permits and conditions) Legislative framework for measures to be implemented. Requirement that GW quantity needs to be in a balance. Licensing, permitting (consensus) of water abstractions.

10 PLANNING INSTRUMENTS / STRATEGIES IN AUSTRIA WFD Draft 2nd River Basin Management Plan 2015 Separate chapter devoted to climate change Austrian Strategy for Adaption to Climate Change 2012 Suggested actions for 14 sectors including water management and natural hazards Climate Change Adaptation Stratgegie of the ICPDR 2013 Consideration of CIS Guidance Document No 24 on River Basin Management in a Changing Climate

11 MEASURES Improvement of data availability Continuation of Groundwater Monitoring and if needed - adaptation of the national monitoring programme (sites and frequency). National inventory of GW abstractions under development. More detailed data on small scale recharge areas needed. Risk analysis Climate change is part of RBMP Awareness raising

12 MEASURES Measures to improve groundwater chemical status Consequent implementation of the Nitrate Action Programme in the whole country (Revision expected in 2015). Further promotion of agro-environmental programme to further reduce the nitrogen balance. Increase of manure storage capacities and regional manure management. Measures to maintain groundwater quantitative status Continuation of licensing system (under Water Act) and control. If needed, adaption of authorisations. Increased collection of data.
