1. WISE Main Rivers & Main Lakes (MR & ML)
WG D meeting
Brussels
WISE Main Rivers & Main Lakes (MR & ML)
GIS reference layer – state of play
Agenda 8.b
Bo N Jacobsen / Oscar Gomez
EEA

2. State-of-play since last WG D meeting April 2010
WISE MR & ML Presented and discussed at WISE TG meeting June 2010
Based on this – a communication to MS (WG D)
asking for link between river water bodies and river system
mail from DG ENV
Direct mail to selected MS as reminder
BG, ES, FI, GR, IE, IT, NL, PL, UK
response from UK, IT and HU
Direct mail to MS not yet reported Art. 13 spatial data
timing on expected submissions for GIS reference layer preparation
BE, CY, DK, EE, HU, LU, MT, PT, NO
Response from BE(Bru, Wal), HU

3. LAKES Source: WFD art 13 reporting Destination: ECRINS DB Situation:
very good match, the attributes are transferred  91% (1061 out of 1164)
Lake not existing on ECRINS  it’s added to ECRINS (in some cases dialogue with MSs will be needed)
More than one WB reported for one ECRINS lake

5. New reservoirs (ES, PT)

6. Problems with delineation (dialogue with MSs needed)

7. More than one WB on a single ECRINS lake

8. RIVERS
Part of the process of transferring art. 13 attributes to ECRINS
Status: first part (pure GIS processing) finished for the MSs that have reported
One subproduct of this exercise is a new layer of WISE MR, consistent with art. 13 deliveries.
For the countries that have not reported, the old WISE MR layer will be used

9. Matching of art. 13 to ECRINS
For main rivers, match above 80% of the segments
Most of the segments missing due to local topology issues
Allows analyzing reported data such as ecological status in an homogeneous way for all EU

10. ECRINS geometries (Loire)

11. Art 13 main rivers
For these ones we can’t find a match (this year, as we foresee technical improvements)

12. Next steps
Finalising WISE MR & ML GIS reference layer for MS having reported to WFD Art. 13 and taking responses up til 15 Oct. into account
Next version ready for presentation at WISE GIS workshop Nov. at EEA
