REPORTING FOR WATER
Towards a shared IS for Water
The long term objective is to develop new, comprehensive and shared European data and information management system for water, including RB, following a participatory approach towards the MS

2. Spatial data server & WFD portal
Short term Solution
Member
State
Data load
+ validation
Public DB
Data query
Validated
data
Info DB
Data will be submitted as XML, GML and shape files
Enables automatic validation of the data
Manual processes to ensure complete compliance and where possible issues
Once accepted, data will move to the View and Query server
Spatial data server & WFD portal

4. The “Prototype”
To facilitate the reporting in 2004 and 2005, the EC is currently developing a tool that will be made available for providing the foreseen data and information electronically and online.

5. 2004 Reporting - GIS Geographical coverage of RBD
RBD, RB, Sub-Basin
Main rivers, lakes (>100km2)
Ground waters
Coastal waters
Map showing the geographic area of jurisdiction of CA

6. CCM (Current) Basic Geographical Layer EU – wide Free
Used by EU Institutions (JRC, ESTAT, EEA)
Meets present COM needs for WFD Rep
Limitations
Needs to be corrected / developed for future use as GIS component for WFD Rep

7. EU GIS Reporting Important aspects: From CCM to EU Catchments Map
Harmonisation
EU institutions use
Public access
No replacement of (better) national systems
From CCM to EU Catchments Map
Next version of CCM (CCM2)?
Complete / Update / Correct CCM2 with/by national data?
Is there any existing EU-wide better solution?

8. EU GIS Reporting Issues for consideration in discussion:
EU-wide harmonisation
Public domain data
Time frame
Data updating process
