Experience of the North Sea in the OSPAR context — by admin — last modified Nov 21, 2007 11:09 AM- Gert Verreet gert.verreet@ec.europa.eu With twenty years of involvement of marine eutrophication related issues in the North-East Atlantic, the author gives an overview of how eutrophication combating was addressed in the North Sea context. North Sea eutrophication has proven to be a problem that isn’t easily resolved, among other things because nutrient losses from agriculture, which contribute significantly to this phenomenon, are more difficult to control than point sources and there is a longer than expected time lag from decision, to implementation, to results in the sea. The North Sea drains a densely populated area with intensive agriculture. When the eutrophication problem received political attention in the 1980's, the North Sea Conference framework provided a forum for a first round of principal policy decisions. These were taken up in a EU context in the early 1990's, giving rise to specific EC directives. The international monitoring and assessment of the evolution of the eutrophication status of the North Sea then started in the context of the OSPAR Convention. The technical and scientific infrastructure to monitor relevant aspects was developed in the period since 1987, with gradual improvements to the international arrangements in place. Formal monitoring of implementation of relevant policy became mostly the remit of the EU, with periodic reporting to the North Sea Conference and OSPAR fora. The development of the toolkit is reviewed, and some monitoring and assessment results are discussed. With the advent of the Water Framework Directive, most EU Member States attention has now turned to achieving the objectives of that directive including 'good ecological status' by 2015. This integrated water policy approach is, among other things, providing even more detailed guidance on the assessment of eutrophication and the need to take measures at source for different sectors, including agriculture in the context of basin management plans. The European Commission uses its various powers to induce Member States to comply with the environmental legislation as many Member States experience an implementation gap. In the meantime, in recent years little new international legislative measures are taken to address nutrients from agriculture. There is insufficient knowledge of the question whether existing policy implementation will suffice to resolve the eutrophication problems of the North Sea.

Use of Best Management Practice Efficiency Estimates in Multi-Jurisdictional Water Quality Planning for the Chesapeake Bay — by admin — last modified Nov 21, 2007 11:09 AM- Thomas W. Simpson, University of Maryland and The World Bank Group Introduction The Chesapeake Bay is the largest and, historically, most productive estuary in the United States of America (USA). The Bay is long and narrow being about 250 km long and 25 to 50 km wide. The estuary is very shallow with an average depth of only 7 m, but it contains a narrow, deep trench up to 60 m deep that is the drowned river valley of the Susquehanna River. What is remarkable about the Chesapeake Bay is the very large size of its watershed to its relatively small water volume. The watershed is approximately 100,000 km square in size (Fig. 1). The Bay has a watershed area to water volume ratio of about 2400:1, which is six times greater than the estuary with the next largest watershed area to water volume ratio, The Bay of Finland.

- $ and Sense of Non-point Source Water Pollution Monitoring in Central and Eastern Europe, and USAID/ Moldova Case Study (Latif) — by admin — last modified Nov 21, 2007 11:09 AM
- This paper presents the pollution monitoring approach and selected results from USAID Global Environmental Facility (GEF) Danube Pollution Reduction Program in Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania; and discusses a case study on non-point source pollution monitoring in Moldova associated with USAID and non-USAID programs. The USAID/GEF Danube project in three key tributaries of the Danube River was meant to improve water quality and reduce transboundary pollution coming from Slovakia and Romania into Hungary and ultimately to the Black Sea. The program’s intent was to serve as one implementation model for similar environmental improvement activities (Ref. 1and 2) to be undertaken in 17 countries of the Danube River Basin as part of the Environmental Action Plan (EAP) and Strategic Action Plan (SAP). The intent of Moldova case study on non- point source pollution monitoring also has a strong potential of replication in Central and Eastern Europe.

Mountains of the World – Water Towers for the 21st Century (Messerli, et.al) — by admin — last modified Nov 21, 2007 11:09 AM- Bruno Messerli Institute of Geography, University of Bern Hallerstrasse 12, 3012 Bern Switzerland Abstract Mountain and Hydrology Research has a long tradition, but only the Rio Conference 1992 created a real breakthrough for a new awareness about the mountains of the world and their natural and human resources. In the years 1997 and 1998 the mountains as water towers for a thirsty planet got a special interest of the UN institutions, which led not only to the International Year of Mountains 2002 and the International Year of Freshwater 2003, but also to a better cooperation between science and policy. The particular hydrological characteristics of mountains areas are manifested by disproportionately large discharge, compared to the surrounding lowlands. Mountains account for 20-50% of total discharge in humid temperate regions, while in semi-arid and arid areas, the contribution of mountains to total discharge are 50 – 90 % with extremes of over 90 % (e.g. Nile, Colorado, Orange, Syr Daria, Amu Daria, Rio Negro etc.). Moreover , discharge from mountainous areas is highly reliable and causes significant reduction of the coefficient of variation of total discharge. These findings were quantified and used to elaborate an overall assessment of the hydrological significance of mountain areas. The dryer the lowland, the greater the importance of more humid mountain areas. Locally and regionally differentiated changes in temperature, precipitation, snow-cover and glacier storage are likely to alter discharge from mountain-dominated territories with respect to timing, volume and variability, and will influence runoff characteristics in lowlands. Catchments which are dominated by snow are particularly sensitive to climate change, and will be most affected by shifts in discharge patterns. Increasing demands on limited water resources ensure that mountains water resources will play an increasing important role in the 21st century. But we need more and better data, especially for the mountains of the tropics and subtropics, and this means for the developing world, where water scarcity means immediately food shortage. The scientific community has the responsibility to analyse the consequences and complex interactions of climate, water and land-use changes, but also of growing population and its impact on watershed management and agriculture-forestry-policy, in order to develop adequate long-term strategies on water resources management in the mountains and highlands for the surrounding lowlands.
