  1. DRBM PlanBasis

  2. Visions &Management Objectives for all Significant Water Management Issues …….lead all countries of the DRB towards a joint goal!

  3. Visions & Management Objectives Longitudinal Continuity Anthropogenic barriers and habitat deficits do not hinder fish migration and spawning anymore- sturgeon species and specified other migratory species are able to access the Danube River and relevant tributaries. Sturgeon species and specified other migratory species are represented with self-sustaining populations in the DRBD according to their historical distribution.

  4. Joint Programme of Measures …….in line with EU WFD DRBM Plan & Joint Programme of Measures integrates all components and addresses • current and future pressures from all SWMIs • national measures to achieve good ecological status • measure implementation on the basin wide scale to achieve good ecological status

  6. DRBM PlanDraft Key Results

  7. DRBM PlanCurrent Draft 6.0 • First time and unique overview on basin-wide issues • Transboundary WFD implementation for largest international river basin district • Pressures/impacts for all SWMIs • Basin-wide analysis on wastewater treatment • Nutrient management on a large scale • HYMO alterations – first time overview • Protected areas inventory • Large scale data collection based on DanubeGIS

  8. DRBM PlanBasic Results • 738 Water bodies • 728 River WBs / 61 River Danube River WBs • 5 Lake WBs (one of it transitional) • 2 Transitional WBs • 4 Coastal WBs • River WB network > 4,000 km2 = 20,882 rkm • 11 transboundary groundwater bodies of basin-wide importance

  9. Organic Pollution Basic Facts • Reference Situation: • 6,224 agglomerations > 2,000 PE in the DRB: • 2,000 – 10,000 PE: 4,969 agglomerations • > 10,000 PE: 1,255 agglomerations • Many agglomerations without wastewater treatment or sewerage connection • No wastewater collection: more than 2,600 aggl. = 11% of the generated load

  10. Organic Pollution Different Scenarios - UWWT • Baseline Scenario – UWWT 2015 • Includes measures that are legally required for EU MS • Measures committed to be undertaken by Non EU MS • Midterm Scenario • BS-UWWT 2015 plus P removal for Non EU MS (agglomerations > 10,000 PE) • Vision Scenario goes far beyond other scenarios • Full technical potential for WWT for organic andnutrient removal applied (EU MS & Non EU MS)

  11. Organic Pollution BOD5 and COD emissions • BOD5 and COD emissions • Reference situation • Baseline Scenario-UWWT 2015 • Midterm Scenario-UWWT • Vision Scenario-UWWT

  12. Nutrient Pollution Different Scenarios - Nutrients • Overall Baseline Scenario – Nutrients 2015 • Baseline Scenario Agriculture – Nutrients 2015 • Moderate agricultural development • Agreed measures to reduce nutrients • Future NOx deposition • Agricultural Scenarios-Nutrient 2015 1 & 2 • Intensified agricultural development • Phosphate Ban Scenario • Considers P ban in laundry detergents and dishwashers

  13. Nutrient Pollution N & P Emissions and Loads Reference – Baseline 2015 Nitrogen Phophorous

  14. Nutrient Pollution • N emissions to surface waters in 2015: 12% lower. • Load to the Black Sea: Below present state but still far above (40%) that of the 1960‘s. • Management objectives and EU WFD objectives not ensured by 2015 • P emissions to surface waters in 2015: 25 % lower • Load to the Black Sea: Below present state but still above (15%) that of the 1960‘s • Management objective will not be achieved by 2015and this is most likely also the case for the WFD environmental objectives • Introduction of limitations on P in detergents is seen as a cost effective and necessary measure

  15. Hazardous Substances Pollution • Based on EPER (EU MS) and ICPDR Emission Inventory data • to be improved end 2009 (but not part of DRBM Plan) • EU IPPC and other Directives key instruments for reduction • Lack of knowledge on sources , pathways and losses of hazardous substances on the basin-wide scale • Estimation that management objectives and EU WFD environmental objectives will not be achieved in 2015 • Further measures needed • There is a need for more monitoring data and information on sources of hazardous substances

  16. HydromorphologicalAlterations HydromorphologicalAlterations 4 HYMO Components River and Habitat Continuity Interruption Disconnection of Adjacent Wetlands/Floodplains Hydrological Alterations Future Infrastructure Projects Agenda Item: 3.0

  17. HydromorphologicalAlterations River and Habitat Continuity Interruption • 219 barriers passable for fish; 693 remain continuity interruptions in 2015 • Remaining continuity interruptions will be addressed by 2021/2027 • Achieve the WFD environmental objectives in an ecologically effective way: initial measures should focus on the defined ecological priority river stretches. • Perform feasibility study on the re-opening of the Iron Gate Dams

  18. HydromorphologicalAlterations Disconnection Wetlands/Floodplains • 578,115 ha of wetlands/floodplains with reconnection potential • 60,450 ha reconnected and/or the hydrological regime improved by 2015 • Difficult to indicate currently the effect of measures on basin-wide scale

  19. HydromorphologicalAlterations Future Infrastructure Projects • 115 Future Infrastructure Projects reported • 19 of them in Danube River • 49% dedicated to navigation; 43% to flood protection • Rest: hydropower generation, water supply and other purposes • 18 projects are subject to WFD Article 4(7) in EU MS • 32 FIPs in Non EU MS

  20. Groundwater Quality & Quantity • GW Quality • Findings show: nitrate contamination is key hindrance of achieving a good chemical status • Key Measures: Implementation EU Nitrates Directive and EU UWWT Directive • GW Quantity • Some GW-Bodies show poor quantitative status • Appropriate controls over the abstraction of fresh water and groundwater and impoundement of surface waters (including abstraction registers)must be put in place

  21. Preliminary Results: Chemical Status - Rivers Water Status WB Number WB Length • Significant data gaps still do exist • Update/revision during second half of 2009

  22. DRBM Plan Next Steps • Launch of the public consultation process after the 7th StWG Mtg • Stakeholder Conference – Bratislava, 29 to 30 June 2009 • follow-up with a respective analysis of the PC process • Improvement, screening and quality check of all draft - DRBM Plan data and analyses in order to ensure and provide a consistent final draft DRBM Plan for OM12 • Final data upload to Danube GIS by 14 September 2009 • Presentation of a final Draft DRBM Plan at OM 12 • Ministerial Meeting in February 2010
