The development of WISE and the status of WfD Art.8 submission Stefan Jensen
WISE has been launched on March 22nd 2007… http://water.europa.eu
With a strong role of EEA as - European water data centre- provider of thematic information and data in WISE http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/
From ”stand-alone” EIONET waterto data integration in WISE New ways of communication! ... from tabular data to interactive maps ... New integrative viewing and assessment options (merging EU directives) First time supporting the themes • Information on MyRiverbasin and competent authorities in MS • European water bodies at risk and / or highly modified • Water quality (nitrates, phosphates, Ammonium, BOD) in rivers and lakes • Urban Waste water treatment • European bathing water status Multiple spatial reference data (Corine Landcover, Image2000, Digital Elevation Models, GISCO, Teleatlas layers)
WISE public viewer: e.g. information from EIONET in WISE Finland & Bothnian Bay • River stations • Gauging stations • Lake stations • Marine stations
From European level to stations Nitrate levels at rivers stations Weser
WISE map and data access: Full access at http://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/ River Basin District view simple, regional, overview Thematic view medium details, thematic Expert view complex, full functionality, all
WISE principles are SEIS principles • Based on a cooperation of EU institutions and Member States • Information should be managed as close as possible to its source Distributed WISE nodes – first tests in 2007 • Information is provided once and used for many purposes As of 2007 Reportnet is the WFD reporting tool e.g. http://cdr.eionet.europa.eu/fi/eu/wfdart8/fivha2 • Information should be accessible to enable clients to make comparisons at the appropriate geographicalscale (e.g. cities, countries, river basins, catchment areas) • Information should be made available to the public after due consideration of the appropriate level of aggregation, … http://water.europa.eu • … given possible confidentiality constraints, and at national level in the national language(s) (needs to be developed) • European funding mechanisms should focus on delivering cost-effective analytical tools and services that allow coherent and comparable use of SEIS at the European level, between the European and Eionet levels and between Eionet countries. E.g. HarmoiCA (see projects under http://water.europa.eu)
Status of WISE Art.8 submission • 21 countries reported Art.8 monitoring sites to WISE (currently missing: BG, ET, GR, IT, MT, RO) • Status 11.6.07: 146 Riverbasin districts reported • Mostly XML files reported • PL only GIS format (shape files) Take a look at http://roddev.eionet.europa.eu/deliveries
e.g. count of SW stations by country* *Based on an EEA analysis by Hermann Peifer
Summary of Art.8 status Efficient, timely submissions Many stations submitted (> 37.000 to date) Only few Member States missing Data quality needs to be checked (positive first visual checks) EIONET relation only identified in a minority of cases Final confirmation has to be provided by Member States
