Current possibilities of the WISE system WISE Workshop Paris 12th November 2008 Stefan Jensen

What is the WISE system? Input side Reportnet for Streamlining reporting Improved quality control Providing links to other WISE providers e.g. Eurostat

What is the WISE system? Internal EU work Producing EU GIS reference data sets Large rivers River basin districts (RBDs) Main rivers and lakes Subunits and RBDs Thematic: Groundwater reference layer Nitrate vulnerable zones ...

What is the WISE system? Output side WISE portal EEA water themes and data web site Thematic map viewing, support of indicators Provision of data Provison of services >

WISE reporting - WFD Art 5 - Bulgaria

WISE reporting – WFD Art 8 - Greece

WISE reporting – Bathing water Dir - All

WISE reporting – Nitrates directive

WISE reporting - Nitrates Dir - Poland

WISE reporting - QA Nitrates Dir - Finland

Summary - WISE reporting Reportnet available for all WISE related Reporting (for UWWT in 2009) WISE GIS (reporting) guidance published to support future reporting late 2008

Producing GIS reference data sets Facing many issues: Understanding of reporting guidance Heterogenity of national deliveries Difficulties of harmonisation Mapping of coding / unified coding ...

visualise water quality indicators What are the state of Europe’s waters How is it? (Nutrients, pesticides, heavy metals, ecological quality..............) Maps, country and river basins comparisons etc. Time trends Getting better or worse? Time trend graphs, percentage of stations with decreasing, stable concentration.

EEA CSI19:Oxygen consuming substances in rivers (Latest update July 2008) www BOD: Biological Oxygen Demand NH4: Total ammonium Overall EEA trend 1992-2006 – around 2000 river stations Country level and trend (2001-06) – 24-27 countries

EEA CSI20:Nutrients in freshwater (Latest update February 2008) www Rivers, lakes and groundwater Nitrogen (nitrate) Phosphorus Trend and level for European regions (North, Eastern and Western)

EEA CSI20:Nutrients in freshwater (Latest update February 2008) www Country comparison (e.g. % of river stations in different classes (all (46) Norwegian river stations have nitrate concentration in the blue/lowest class) Wise maps Not the best way of illustrating country differences

WISE maps http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/mapviewers Pie chart by country % rivers in different water quality classes CSI19 Oxygen consuming substances Mean annual BOD in rivers Mean annual Total Ammonium in rivers CSI20 Nutrients in freshwater Mean annual Nitrates in rivers Mean annual Orthophosphate in rivers Mean annual Total Phosphorous in lakes River Basin Districts Average concentration River stations Latest year

New WISE maps showing trends per RBD (remark not quality assured) Proportion of stations River Basin District showing decreasing (blue/green), stable and increasing (yellow, red) nitrate concentration over the period 1990 to 2006 National RBDs – more than 7 years in the period 1990-2006
