4. Odense PRB Activities 2005- in general
Developing a Pilot River Basin Management Plan for Odense River Basin in
5 provisional thematic Programme of Measures including economic calculations on costs and measures to combat eutrophication and hydromorphological destruction of the surface waters and ground water in the OPRB (in Danish).
3 technical meetings and 2 advisory board meetings (public and/or stakeholders) (3 different groups) with representatives from NGO’s, authorities, firms etc., on Danish regional and national level.
Progress reports to EU on the PRB activities.
3-4 July 2005: OdensePRB-leader attended the PRB-Steering Group Meeting.
Input to SSG and other CIS working groups
Input to EU research projects: Euroharp, Bridge, Conwoy, Rebecca, HarmoniRib, EuroLimpacts, FATE model testing

5. Developing Cost Effective PoM’s Conclusions of the WFD Article 5 Provisional Report
Water courses will not achieve ”good ecol. status” due to hydromorphological conditions and/or waste water discharges
Lakes will not achieve ”good ecol. status” primarily due to nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) loadings, primarily from agricultural sources
Odense Fjord – as lakes, incl. hazardous subst.
Groundwater will (locally) not achieve ”good qualitative status” due to haz. subst., pesticides and nitrate

Cost effective fulfilment of a target by ranking the measures and their potential according to cost-effectiveness (marginal cost).

7. Level of CEA analysis Operational objectives
12 sub-basins
11 largest lakes and the Fjord
N and P objectives:
Required N and P load reduction (tonnes/year).
Hydromorph. conditions:
Cannot quantify objectives Not suitable for cost minimisation
Estimated a total fixed dosage of specific measures and total costs.
Groundwater:
1/3 of nitrate sensitive extraction area/WB need implementation of one of three measures.

8. Integrated Programme of Measures The importance of the retention factor
Odense Fjord

9. Measure categories Optimizable measures ”Must do” measures
Afforestation
Wetlands
Areas with catch crops
Areas of organic farming
Improved waste water treatment in sparsely built up areas (N, P)
*Groundwater:
Permanent grassland
Cultiv. red.fertilization
All measures related to streams (hydromorph. cond.)
Removal of fish obstructions
Re-winding of streams/buffer zones
Re-opening of piped streams, etc.
10m crop free buffer zones around smaller
lakes
Buffer zones around abstractions holes (pesticides)
Waste disposal sites (hazardous substances)

10. Hydromorphological measures Re-winding of streams/buffer zones

11. (very) Provisional results
Price of meeting objectives in OPRB:
13-20 milllion Euros
80% distributed on measures to improve hydromorphological conditions and to reduce pollution from sparsely built up areas.

12. Cost effective analyses Step by step
Operational objectives. Sub-basin level of analysis decided
Estimate and include effects of baseline measures
Identify relevant measures to solve problems in water bodies
Unit effects (Kg N/ha)
Unit costs (EURO/ha)
Cost-effectiveness (EURO/kg N)
Maximum potential dosage in each sub-basin (e.g. by GIS)
Cost-effectiveness curves for each sub-basin and groundwater area
Estimate downstream effects of measures to get an integrated analysis
Find most cost-effective solution including downstream effects and calculate total costs of POM
If necessary adjust dosages/placing of measures. Different scenarios.

14. Odense PRB input to SSG Meetings:
25th April 2005: SSG meeting in Brussel. Odense PRB – presentation. Links between WFD and Agriculture”
8-10 September 2005: Meeting in the SSG-network of Agricultural PRB’s. Odense PRB – presentation
20-21 September 2005 in London: SSG-conference and meeting
Pressure and Impact analyses:
Providing input and ideas for an indicator based report from all the PRB’s on Agriculture Pressure and Impact and Measures to deal with these pressures.
Comments to background paper (Ecologic): ”WFD and Agriculture – Analyses of the pressures and Impacts”.
Filling out Pressure and Impact -template
Programme of Measures:
Answering questionnaire on ”Programmes of Measures under the light of Agriculture”
Filling out PoM-templates: Indicators of measures; Basic measures and supplementary measures
