Activities Content Stakes

Economic characterisation of water uses

Set of economic indicators (GPD, Turnover, added value, Employment)

• link Economic data with Pressure & Impact data

Assessment of the current level of cost-recovery for water services

For each water services, identification of financial flows and contribution of the 3 main economic sectors

• current cost recovery

• sustainability of the services

• financial equity between the 3 sectors

Provide elements for the baseline scenario development

Which trends for economic driving forces for 2015

• which impact of economic drivers on pressures

1. WFD & Economic Analysis

River Basin Management Plan

• Derogation (disproportionate cost)

• Heavily modified water bodies

1. WFD & Economic Analysis

Programme of Measures

• cost-effectiveness analysis in order to select the most cost-effective set of measures

Economic analysis : To do what ?

1. to identify and analyse the context2. to set « realistic » objective 3. to set priorities (identify the most cost-effective

measures)

4. to help to achieve the environmental objectives

tools for action

What are the main water uses? Which economic figures ?

1. identify the main activities using water

2. Provide figures on abstraction, discharges, turnover, employement,….

Baseline scenario 2015Objectives :

•Provide trends for the main water uses• Assess the pressures level for 2015

Risk assessment of water bodies which may not achieve good status in 2015

Approach adpoted for the development of the baseline scenario

• Past analysis of the key elements evolution and 2015 forecats

• Exepected evolution analysis

• Planning documents analysis

• Baseline scenario buiding

• Two alternative scenario building (optmistic/pessimistic)

• Pressures and impacts analysis

• Revision of the results by experts

• Risk assessment for each water body

• Final documents redaction

• Documentation analysis

• Existing surveys analysis

• Definition of the basin’s system

• Identification of key elements
