I-Eurowaternet concepts (Task undergoing as part of the European Topic Centre on Waters Work programme under subvention with European Environment Agency)
II-Eurowaternet-Emissions - A reporting system for all emissions to water, comparable over Europe - long term goal : report only once for multiple (EU and international) uses - short term goal : allow EEA to report on and assess emissions to water, and contribute to the data collection and organisation for comparability
Time period Geographical aggregation Quantity emitted Substance Source II-Eurowaternet-Emissions PRINCIPLE of EWN-e database
PRINCIPLE of EWN-e database • Required data • Assessment Unit: area code and area name • Source categories: 7 emission sources in EWN-e • Individual sources: activities/location behind emissions • Determinands: name, amount and unit • Temporal Aggregation: year and period EWN-e database tables
PROCESS (1) • Differences between collected data and required data : • file format: ACCESS, Excel, etc • determinands name • emission units: kg/day, kg/year • sources categories • geographical coverage: country or sub-basin Turn the collected data into the right format
Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 Table 4 PROCESS (2) EWN-e database main structure Data in original format Data converted into Access format and processed
DATABASE STRUCTURE (1) • Main structure tables T_EWN_e_SOURCES_CATEGORY T_PRESSURES T_ASSESSMENT_UNIT T_EMISSIONS T_IND_SOURCES_LIST T_EWN_e_ DETERMINANDS

EUROSTAT-Newcronos III-EWN-e 2003 data collection test
Some examples of Test indicators Indicator 1 :Trends in emission per Assessment Unit Data source: DENMARK AU: GUDEN A, ARHUS AMT Determinand: Total phosphorus
Indicator 2 : Relative change of emissions between 1985 and 1999 Data source : OSPAR AU: Country
Indicator 3 :Trends in emission per Assessment Unit Data source : EUROSTAT AU: Estonia
Indicator 4 : Sectors contribution to overall emission per Assessment Unit and per year Data source: ICPDR AU: Romania, Tisa, Mures Year: 2000
IV-Emission factors 1.Context 2.French TEF 3.Loire-Bretagne pilot study 4.Ifen/IOW study 5.Spanish study (TAU)
1.Context A complex picture…
For each part of the system (sources, collecting systems, treatments) three types can be distinguished: - the biggest often emit most of the pollution and are measured (e.g. facilities in the EPER tool should together represent 90% of the emission of the parameter) • the smaller often emit individually small quantities but can represent together big emissions, and are far less measured (once a week or less) - non point, being difficult to measure are often ignored … BUT to obtain a complete picture asked for by the JQ : a need to calculate or estimate small and non point parts of the system using models and/or statistical data and emission factors
2.French TEF: - Created by the French Water Law 64/1245 - Used since 1964 in each Water Agency, covering France - It is a table giving emission factors for 375 different categories of industries a.Principle • Formula: Emission factor x Characteristic unit = quantity emitted • 2 types of emission factors: - raw pollution - net pollution • Regulated emission factors… …supplemented on demand …by measured emission factors
b. Content There are 5 entry to the table - name of the category of polluting activities (letter + name) - code of the category (letter + number) - Characteristic unit (definition + unit) - emission factors dedicated to 9 determinands (SS, Organic matter, Inhibiting matter, Salts, reduced nitrogen, oxidised nitrogen, total phosphorus, AOX, Metox) - observations (dedicated to specific cases)
French TEF: Problems - nomenclature process-oriented, - only industries of >400EH: exclude SMEs - confidentiality (measurement) - specific parameters not linked to CAS or other common classification : MA, MP, MO, METOX - based on month of maximum activity
3.French emission inventory study, diffuse sources: 1-agriculture: a.Principle
French emission inventory study, agriculture: b.Nitrogen input - Atmospheric deposition originates from EMEP - Inorganic fertilisers: • sales at NUTS2 level, • use on each type of crop based on a national survey (NUTS3 level), • and surface of each crop on agriculture census and Corine Land Cover area - Nitrogen fixation by leguminous (alfalfa, peas…)
French emission inventory study, agriculture: c.Nitrogen input : livestock - Number of animals in various categories (Agriculture census) - Calculation more detailed for cows: main contributor - Emission factor for the excretion of each type of animal - Emission factor for the manure produced by each type of animal (manure + volatilisation = excretion) - determinands : Nitrogen, Phosphorus - the methodology takes into account the time outside on fields
French emission inventory study, agriculture: d.Nitrogen output - yields (NUTS3) - Nitrogen content of the products : harvested or fodder used for animals Nitrogen input – Nitrogen output = Nitrogen balance
Practical application: JRC Calculation of Agricultural Nitrogen Quantity for EU River Basins, based on EUROSTAT data at NUTS 2 level (2001)
French emission inventory study, agriculture: Pilot study used a transfer of 30% or 70% based on soil type Further work in course using: • rain water run-off • Soil type • Slope • … • Results available June 2004
French emission inventory study, diffuse sources: 2-urban and industrial/commercial areas a.Principle : Using Corine Land Cover area and the % of impervious area, and an emission factor depending on the determinand (based on bibliography)
b.Practical application Emissions of industrial/commercial and urban areas Diffuse industrial Diffuse urban
4.Emission factors to water : creation of a database a.Point sources : human being
4.Emission factors to water : creation of a database b.Point sources : industries i.final product ii.wastewater discharged
Emission factors to water : creation of a database c.Linear (diffuse) sources
5. A Spanish study conducted by TAU in 2001 - 12 industrial activities, some subdivided, - Factors are calculated from statistical data from the profession and bibliography, (1995) - Factor are on energy, raw material, water consumed, products and by ptoducts, electricity, waste water, waste and emissions - Emissions factors are thus on waste water and water use.
Spanish study: Content - for Waste water Emissions factor, it is mainly process water, thus it is difficult to calculate a factor per unit (e.g. Tonnes) - main parameters : COD, BOD, TSS, N and P, AOX is not very frequent. - tentative link of information gathered to NACE Code, - short description plus scheme of each activity in Spain, - short bibliography on the sources of information.
Conclusion For Waste water statistics improvement • A need to cover all emission sources (point to diffuse, big to small) • A need to be as precise as possible at the optimum cost • A need to share approaches of which emission factors A need for an emission factor database
