Monitoring ecological and chemical status of surface water

Network survey of water status included in monitoring programs are
designed so that a coherent and comprehensive overview of
ecological and chemical status within each sub-basin and so
allow classification of surface waters into five classes corresponding
definitions set out in Annex no. 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this Decree.

Based on the analysis of general and water management characteristics
sub-basins and impact assessment on the status of surface waters
^ 19) is realized for each period of validity of River Basin Management Plans Program
monitoring of surface waters containing the part relating to monitoring | || surveillance, operational, quantitative characteristics Program

Surface water, and possibly programs of investigative monitoring.

Are monitored parameters which are indicative of the status of each
relevant qualitative indicators. In selecting parameters for biological quality indicators
identified
appropriate taxonomic level required to achieve adequate confidence and precision
classification qualitative indicators. Individual bodies of surface water
possible to the needs of monitoring, detection and evaluation of water status
merge into groupings that have common monitoring sites. You can only merge
surface water bodies with similar hydromorphological and biological
conditions and at the same time with similar degree and type of anthropogenic influences.
The merger of bodies of surface water should not affect the reliability
assessment of the status of surface water bodies and on the reliability of evaluation
implications of different anthropogenic influences on the status of water bodies and state
surface waters.

Details assessment of surface water set by the Ministry of the Environment
through certified methodologies.

(1) Surveillance monitoring

A) Surveillance monitoring in their respective localities and profiles
monitoring of surface waters is carried out to:

First supplement and validate the results of the analysis of the characteristics and watershed
evaluating the effects and impacts on the status of surface water

Second term changes in natural conditions

Third term changes caused by human activity in general,

Fourth efficient and effective proposals to update other programs
monitoring

Fifth keeping water balance

6th detection of surface water quality.

B) Monitoring results are evaluated in order to determine further
requirements for surface water monitoring programs in sub-basins
current and subsequent river basin management plans ^ 8).

C) Surveillance monitoring is carried out of sufficient surface water bodies
to allow assessment of the overall status of surface waters
in each river basin or sub-basin.

D) With regard to those bodies of surface water monitoring is always carried
where:

First a significant volume of water for sub-basin as a whole, including
points on large rivers where the catchment area is greater than 2,500 square kilometers,

Second the volume of water within the sub-basin significant
including large lakes and reservoirs,

Third significant bodies of surface waters goes beyond national boundaries,

Fourth must meet the requirements for the exchange of information set by the decision
Council establishing a common procedure for the exchange of information on the quality
surface fresh water in the Community ^ 20)

Fifth it is necessary to estimate the pollutant load transmitted through
borders of Member States and to the marine environment.

E) Surveillance monitoring is carried out for each monitoring site for a
a minimum period of one year during the period covered by the plan
basin at:

First parameters indicative of all biological indicators

Second parameters indicative of all hydromorphological indicators

Third parameters indicative of all general physico-chemical
quality indicators

Fourth priority substances ^ 2) emitted in the sub-basin,

Fifth other pollutants in accordance with Annex no. 8
this decree, released in significant amounts in the sub-basin.

F) Assuming that the previous surveillance monitoring exercise showed that
present surface water reached good status and analyzes made by
general and water management characteristics of the sub-basins and
assessment of the impact on the status of surface waters did not produce evidence that
these effects have changed, the situation monitoring
performed at least once every three river basin management plans.

(2) Operational monitoring

A) Operational monitoring is performed in order:

First establish the status of surface water bodies that have been identified
of failing environmental objectives as
risk,

Second assess any changes in the status of such bodies resulting from the programs of measures
.

B) The period of validity of the river basin management plan program can be adjusted according to the information obtained
so as to allow reduction of the frequency of monitoring, where
was to evaluate the impact on the status of surface waters
assessed as insignificant.


C) Operational monitoring is carried out for all bodies of surface water
that were either based on the analysis of general and water management characteristics
sub-basins and impact assessment on the status of surface waters
surveillance monitoring are identified as | || at risk from the viewpoint of achieving their environmental objectives
established in accordance with the requirements of § 23a of the water Act, and for those bodies
surface water into which emit chemicals listed in Annex no. 8
hereof. For priority substances are profiles of status monitoring surface water
chosen with regard to the relevant standards of environmental quality
.

D) Monitoring will always be:

First surface water bodies at risk from significant point source pollution
, sufficient monitoring points within each
body in order to assess the magnitude and impact of the point source
. If surface water is subject to a number of point sources
pollution monitoring points may be selected so that
assess the magnitude and impact of these pressures as a whole,

Second surface water bodies at risk from significant diffuse sources of pollution
, sufficient monitoring points within a selection
bodies in order to assess the magnitude and impact of these
diffuse sources. The selection of bodies shall be made such that
representative of the relative risks of the occurrence of
diffuse sources and the relative risks of failure to achieve good
surface water

Third surface water bodies at risk from significant hydromorphological
influences, sufficient monitoring points within a selection of
bodies in order to assess the magnitude and impact of the hydromorphological pressures
. The selection of bodies shall be indicative
overall impact of the hydromorphological pressure to which all bodies of surface water
exposed.

E) To assess the magnitude of the pressure to which they are exposed
bodies of surface water, they are monitored:

First parameters indicative of the biological indicator or indicators
most sensitive to the pressures to which the surface water bodies
exposed

Second all priority substances discharged ^ 2) and other pollutants
discharged in significant quantities,

Third parameters indicative of the hydromorphological indicator
which is most sensitive to the pressure identified.

F) Operational monitoring also ensures:

First examination of the quality of surface waters, including their influence
human activity

Second programs of measures pursuant to § 26 of the Water Act,

Third survey of water status in those bodies of surface water, which was their
judged as worse than good, or have been identified on the basis of the
updated analysis of the characteristics of the basin and
evaluate the effects and impacts on the status of surface waters
achieving the environmental objectives of protecting water as a risk or that are
priority substances discharged,

Fourth detecting changes in water status and condition of surface water bodies whose
monitoring results from the programs of measures

Fifth detecting any long-term upward trend in concentration
pollutants resulting from human activity,

6th the state of surface water for administration purposes
water flows and water works,

7th obtaining data for international monitoring programs and the needs
cross-border cooperation,

8th keeping water balance

9th water management planning.

(3) The monitoring program of quantitative characteristics of surface waters

Monitoring program of quantitative characteristics of surface waters is performed in order
:

First assessment of surface water in accordance with § 21 of the Water Act,

Second evaluation of the runoff water flows,

Third keeping water balance

Fourth water management planning.

(4) Investigative monitoring

A) Investigative monitoring is performed where

First experienced extreme events and their causes are not known,

Second surveillance monitoring results indicate the probability of failing
good ecological status of water and the surface water body has not yet been
included in the program operational monitoring

Third it is necessary to determine the magnitude and impact of accidental pollution or

Fourth to provide information for the establishment of a program of measures to achieve the objectives
water protection ^ 8).


B) Investigative monitoring must provide information for the establishment of a program
measures to achieve environmental objectives and specific measures
necessary to remedy the effects of accidental pollution.

(5) General provisions of surface water monitoring

A) The frequency of monitoring

First For the surveillance monitoring period, the minimum value to
frequencies for monitoring parameters indicative of physico-chemical
qualitative parameters listed in Table no. 1 of this Annex.
For biological or hydromorphological indicators monitoring shall be carried
least once during the surveillance monitoring period.

Second For operational monitoring must be frequency of monitoring required for each indicator
designed so as to provide sufficient data for a reliable assessment of the status
relevant qualitative indicators.
Monitoring shall be at least at intervals listed in Table
. 1 of this Annex.

Third Frequencies are chosen to achieve an acceptable level of reliability and accuracy
.

Fourth Monitoring frequency is chosen with regard to the variability in parameters
resulting from both natural and anthropogenic conditions. Period in
which monitoring is undertaken shall be selected so that
minimize the impact of seasonal variation, and thus ensure that
results reflect changes in the surface water body due to changes in anthropogenic influences
. If necessary, it is carried
additional monitoring during different seasons of the same year.

Fifth Substances with numbers 5, 21, 28, 30, 35, 37, 43 and 44 listed in Annex no. 6

water policy ^ 2) can be monitored
a lower rate than establishing requirements for the monitoring of priority substances
according to table. 1, provided that such monitoring
representative and are available
statistically reliable information base regarding the presence of these substances in the aquatic environment
. Monitoring will be conducted every three years, unless
on the basis of technical knowledge and expert judgment justify another interval
.
