Abstract

The Water Framework Directive 20000/60/EC (WFD) requires all EU member states to achieve and preserve good status for all European waters, including groundwaters. Process to achieve WFD requirements includes definition and delineation of water bodies as management units, environmental monitoring, status assessment and finally developing river basin management plans.

This use case describes process steps and interactions necessary for delivering data required to assess the groundwater bodies and thus fulfill the related EU reporting obligation. The activity includes: collection and evaluation of the geological and hydrogeological characteristics, as well as quantitative and qualitative monitoring of defined chemical and physical indicators and finally groundwater body overall status assessment.

Delineation on WFD groundwater bodies, in many cases, is not done accordingly to their natural boundaries but usually follows administrative units.

In order to better demonstrate interoperability the use case description covers also a cross border scenario. It defines the additional step of synchronizing of the collected information by two different member state water authorities. This integrating approach facilitates, promoted by WFD facilitates a coordinated assessment and planning of potential future measures.

Objective

The provision of WFD required data and information on the trans-boundary groundwater body.

Actors

  • 1st Member State water authority,

  • 2nd Member State water authority

  • ...

Actions

  • Step 1: Discovering and collecting initial information on hydrogeological, geological, chemical and physical data about the each groundwater body
  • Step 2: Preprocessing, syntactical and semantically transformation of the input information.
  • Step 3: Assessment of required output,
  • Step 4: Delivering of groundwater module for WFD reports
