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

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

3. 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
...

4. 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

5. WISE reporting - WFD Art 5 - Bulgaria

6. WISE reporting – WFD Art 8 - Greece

7. WISE reporting – Bathing water Dir - All

8. WISE reporting – Nitrates directive

9. WISE reporting - Nitrates Dir - Poland

10. WISE reporting - QA Nitrates Dir - Finland

11. 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

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

13. WISE ”entry” portal

14. EEA water thematic pages

15. WISE map viewing – Update 10.10.2008

16. WISE map viewing – Example WISE SoE

17. WISE map viewing – NEW - Groundwater

18. WISE map viewing – NEW - Transitional and Coastal

19. WISE map viewing – New - Urban Waste Water

20. 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.

21. EEA CSI19:Oxygen consuming substances in rivers (Latest update July 2008) www
BOD: Biological Oxygen Demand
NH4: Total ammonium
Overall EEA trend – around 2000 river stations
Country level and trend ( ) – countries

22. 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)

23. 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

24. 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

25. 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
