2 Why Nordic WFD collaboration? Common natur and water types NGIG Common administrative systems Common challenges Pressures Transboundary water (FI, SE, NO) = COMMON SUB-PLANS Common need for tools and guidance GIS/ICT applications Numerical models Exchanging best practise and R&D Cost-effective mitigations measures Tricky WFD issues HYMO alteration/hmwb/env objectives Sosioeconomics Jo H. Halleraker

3 Main pressures water status The 10 dominating pressure types on water bodies in Norway Hydropower Acid rain Agricultural runoff Runoff from scattered houses Invasive species Runoff from urban areas Pollution form sewage plants Polluted sediments Flood protection Aquaculture

5 Special challenges and mitigations e. g. Acid rain liming, HP fish stocking

7 The Nordic voice in CIS Characterisation - pressure and impacts Pressure and impacts similar: Eutrofication Acid rain (FIN, SWE, NOR) HMWB Hydropower High number of lakes and water bodies Large rural areas (especially in the north, minor impacted) Common water types Partly species poor systems (few fish spp) Similar sampling techniques Mangement traditions Similar political institutions Relatively small R&D communities

10 Stage and approach for WFD RBMP Sweden: RBMPs approved dec 2009 Satisfactory budgets? Compilance queck received Finland: RBMPs approved dec 2009 Compilance queck on its way Norway: ~ 20 % of water bodies included in first RBMPs RBMPs approved June 2010 Denmark RBMPs approved in 2011 Main focus on green agriculture Major revision ongoing Iceland Implementation really started in 2010/2011 No RBMPs made yet... Program of Measures (PoM) Detailness of measures varies Strategic measures Specific measures Some countries estimated total costs Basic measures Supplementary measures Legal status of PoM varies

11 A legal comparions Necessary legal instruments not yet in place (2010) No overimplementation seen All scandinavian countries have problems to fullfil requirments New legal adoptions crusial for reaching WFD objectives FI SE DK - NO

13 Main topics WFD WS 2011 Thursday 29. september Room 1 Room 2 Room 3 WG 1. HMWB and hydropower(j. Kling) WG 2. Pressures (M. Larsson) WG 5. Monitoring (S. Sandøy) WG 4. Implementation of measures - general (L. Sorby) WG 6. Modelling, GIS and ICT solutions (N. Holmgren) WG 7. Priority substances (B. Nordbø) Friday 30. september WG 5. Monitoring and classification (A. Pilke) WG 6. Modelling, GIS and ICT solutions (N. Holmgren)

14 Conclutions selected Nordic challenges Get the measures in PoMs started (<2012) and done (<2015/2021) Improve knowledge/data/understanding Focus on missing parts and loose ends Further development of classification systems better mitigations ICT Model tools Improve/adjust the next generation of RBMP by 2015 Jo H. Halleraker

16 Common needs and challenges (1) Reach good status and potential within WFD deadlines Get the measures in PoMs started (<2012) and done (<2015) Extend monitoring, surveys for updated characterization, classification and risk analysis Sharing R&D on mitigation measures classification systems Get RBMP in line with DG Env Compliance check Change buiseness as usual for certain sectors Focus on missing parts and loose ends Political statements, HMWB, New activities detoriation of status WFD economics

17 Common needs and challenges (2) Further development of ICT Model tools in RBMP hydro/eco-models Eutrofication Decition-support models etc. Next generation RBMP New organization (SWE, NOR,?) and better sector integration? Incorporate other directives (Flooding, marine, new priority substances) Holistic and understandable
