1 Title: CEDEX Proposal for Use of CHRIS imagery for Monitoring oring Ecological Water Quality in smallest Mediterranean Reservoirs integrated in the Intercalibration Exercise of WFD Implementation Process (AO 3123) Authors: Peña-Mart Martínez, Ramón; Ruiz-Verd Verdú,, Antonio; Domínguez nguez-gómez, José-Antonio Centre for Hydrographic Studies of CEDEX (Spain( Spain) Topic/subtopic : Ecological Water Quality, Photosynthetic pigments,, Remote sensing

2 CEDEX proposed CHRIS activities for 2005, trough two AO Projects (AO 2830 since 2004 and AO 3123 new for 2005) in the frame of a Project funded by the Spanish Environment Ministry, for Monitoring the Water Quality, specifically Chlorophyll-a mean summer concentration assessment, in reservoirs included in the Geographic Intercalibration Group for Mediterranean Lakes, leaded by Spain,, in the Common Implementation Strategy of European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD).

6 The purpose of the Intercalibration exercise is to ensure comparable ecological quality assessment systems and harmonised ecological quality criteria for surface waters in the Member States. This ensures a harmonised approach to define one of the main environmental objectives of the WFD, the good ecological status, by establishing: Agreed ecological quality criteria for good quality sites, setting s the targets for protection and restoration Agreed numerical Ecological Quality Ratio (EQR) values for two quality class boundaries (high/good and good/moderate)

7 What will be intercalibrated is not ecological status, but the outcome (as status classes) of the numerical (EQR) values s for the biological quality elements in Member State s s assessment systems. The ecological status is determined by the lower of the values ( high / good / moderate / poor / bad ) of the relevant biological and physico-chemical chemical monitoring results for the relevant quality elements. (WFD Annex V, Article (i) )

8 To carry out intercalibration of the surface water ecological quality status assessment systems by 2006 (Annex( V) V Establishment of the intercalibration network Selection of types and sites based on common criteria Data collection & data handling for intercalibration Common criteria for data requirements Process of data exchange Additional sampling, if necessary Intercalibration exercise Assessment of ecological status of intercalibration sites (calculation of EQR values) Comparing different EQR values calculated for common intercalibration sites Analysis and reporting of the results Setting the class boundary EQR values of national assessment systems

9 Geographical Intercalibration Groups (GIG) The intercalibration network must be confined to ecoregions ecoregions. Ecoregions can either be interpreted as those specified in Annex XI of the Directive (the Illies ecoregions for lakes and rivers, and much wider regions for coastal and transitional waters), or can be defined in a wider sense. For lakes: five Alpine, Mediterranean). For Alpine, GIG LM : : five intercalibration groups (Northern, Atlantic, Central, Spain (leader), Portugal, France, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Romania

10 Rivers Lakes Transitional waters Coastal waters Heavily modified waters Selection of water types for each Ecoregion 1 Minimum 2 sites between high ---- good status 2 Selection of sites Using expert judgement on joint inspections & all available information Minimum 2 sites between good -- moderate status Draft register for Intercalibration network

11 Quality High border Select 2 or more sites from each country representing borders between high-good and good-moderate Good border Moderate [ High, Good, Moderate, Poor, Bad ] Pressure

12 common WFD assessment method in the GIG. In the L-M L M GIG, the common method comes to be the assessment of chlorophyll concentration from a sample collected at, or immediately below, the water surface, once in summer season. as an interim common method for IC purposes until a more sufficient method is implemented, in search of a more reliable outcome. More e specifically, an improved chlorophyll assessment method could be agreed among the GIG countries, increasing somewhat the annual number of samples and adopting a common sampling strategy. As an alternative approach to increased sampling, or in addition to it, satellite remote sensing imagery may provide a valuable tool in monitoring the variability of algal biomass and assessing the mean summer values of chlorophyll concentration at water surface.

13 The Geographic Intercalibration Group for Mediterranean Lakes, after the analysis of Problem of data availability, decided to develop during 2005 a special program for additional monitoring in the selected reservoirs, in general with information lacks. This Plan includes an special effort from the Member States providing several monitoring dates along the year supporting Remote Sensing activities ties to develop thematic mapping expanding the sampling points information in order to represent the whole water surface and permitting the assessment of the most t accurate mean summer Chlorophyll-a a and Phycocyanin concentration in the photic layer as expresion of eutrophication level, main pressure recognised in the Lakes of this Group. The site selected, setting the Ecological Quality borders high-good good and good- moderate, must represent as well as possible these boundaries to can compare with the other/s country/ies with reservoirs of the same Intercalibration type. In this frame is essential the role of Remote Sensing application n to provide comparable information on lakes along the summer period.

16 In that frame, the GIG LM, leaded by Spain, and coordinated by Jose L. Ortiz (Ministry( of Environment), knowing the CEDEX experience in the Inland Water Phytoplankton Pigment Concentration assessment using Satellite Remote Sensing (MERIS and CHRIS imagery), specially the results achieved in the CHRIS activities developped along the year 2004 on Rosarito Reservoir, proposed this Project. The proposal includes 6 small reservoir selected from the 50 water bodies of the Group, located in three countries (Romania, Cyprus and Italy); in addition to the 4 smallest spanish selected reservoirs. The goal is optimize the evaluation of EQR* (ratio between actual and reference values) in function of mean summer concentration of Chlorophyll-a in the photic layer, adding the knowledge of distribution pattern along the water surface. * Ecological Quality Ratio

41 Ground campaigns: - Monthly in summer period: from May 2005 until October 2005 (adapted to CHRIS-Proba calendar), measuring: Phytoplankton taxonomic composition, biovolume and biomass; Chlorophyll ll-a a and other Phytoplankton pigment composition; Nutrients concentration; Physicochemical parameters analysis. Cyanotoxins toxicity tests - Water optics (eventually eventually): Above water radiometry (multiangular ( reflectance measurements) In water radiometry (upwelling ( and downwelling irradiance profiles) The in situ campaigns will be conducted by each Member State Water Authorities Scientific Branch, responsible any case of Ecological Water Quality Assessment in order to compare with the other countries in the Intercalibration Exercise. The general coordination is conducted by Spain (Ministry of Environment)

42 Receiving imagery and monitoring data from members: - CEDEX will coordinate the Plan to Monitor each water body, considering the Viewing opportunities and the Active Plan of CHRIS/Proba, to guarantee the most of coincidence as possible between field data and images sets. - Processing the image sets and applying the Algorithms developped for the evaluation of pigment concentration. - Validating the results with the field data. - Thematic mapping of Chlorophyll-a, Phycocyanin,, etc. In order to assess mean concentration values for each date and finally for the summer period. - This Mean Summer concentration values will provide the value of Ecological Status: The monitoring results for the biological quality elements are expressed as EQRs - ratios derived from observed values and reference* values. * In reference conditions.

43 Very important Question in the frame of GIG LM: How is the Correlation between Chlorophyll-a a concentration in the upper layer 0.5 meter, or first optical thickness (~ 0.6 * SD) and mean concentration in the whole photic layer?

44 Correlation : Mean CHLa (1st opt. thi.) / Mean CHLa photic layer y = 1,0566x R 2 = 0, CHLa pho lay CHLa 1st opt. thi.

52 Summarize lines: Starting from the Rosarito_reservoir successful experience during 2004, and applying that achievements to new inland water goals. In the frame of the Water Directive, use the CHRIS capabilities to expand and optimize the Chlorophyll an Phycocyanin concentration mapping in selected water bodies. Understanding the possible conflicts with other sites, expecting the best chance as possible for rise the objectives in the 2005 acquisition requests s frame.
