  8. Contents COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT SCALES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WFD • Hydrological • water bodies for characterisation of water status • river basin for cost-effectiveness analysis when defining the programme of measures • ... • Socio-economic • water services for assessment of the level of cost recovery • water uses for economic analysis • ... • Administrative • regional / national for the transposition of WFD… • European for the elaboration of the list of priority substances • ... 8/14

  9. Contents Sub-basin/Sector/Water typeelement of district to deal with particular aspects Heavily modified water bodies (HMWB) human activity carried out makes it impossible to reach the goal without disproportionate costs (change activity…)  no link with pollution sea Water bodiesscale of evaluation of the achievement of good status Districtriver basins + associated groundwaters and coastal waters THE DIFFERENT HYDROLOGICAL SCALES USED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF WFD 9/14

  10. Contents Scenario Initial situation trends Economic studies Implementation of directives Characterisationof the district Results vs goal=>relevance of measures? Good status X Evaluationof results Identificationof gaps gap Business as usual X How to do it?seeGuidance documents 2015 2003 Programmeof measures Public participation Monitoring Fill the gap with basic + complementary measures WFD'S GENERAL METHODOLOGY 10/14

  11. What is inside WFD? How does it work? • selected key-points • the general organisation What implications of WFD? • in terms of methods • in terms of instruments used WFD, CONTENTS AND IMPLICATIONS 11/14

  12. Implications NOVELTY IN TERMS OF METHODS • A structured process • global process: long-term and cyclic approach • connections with other European policies: CAP, regional, etc. • stringent step by step methodology • An open process • involvement of professionals, experts and stakeholders • all aspects of water management at hydrological scales • unusual issues to be debated: disproportion of costs, recovery of costs, cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit ratios... • Clear justification of important decisions • HMWB, derogations... • based on "objective" arguments: efficiency, benefits, ability to pay of citizens... 12/14

  13. Implications NOVELTY IN TERMS OF INSTRUMENTS • Construction and use of baseline scenario • horizontal approach: impacts of other policies on water • water policy as a driver for evolutions: choices regarding water with impacts on other policies • Economic tools • cost-benefit and cost-efficiency analyses • understanding of specificities and of outputs • Unusual use of prices • pricing policies as a tool aiming at a specific goal • assessment of environmental costs: damages, resource cost... 13/14

  14. Integrated into interdisciplinary exercise:IRBM Decision-making oriented:concrete, operational, "ready-to-apply" "Integration", the motto for economics under WFD Opened to external skills Opened to non experts Included into public participation process:clear, understandable... Integrated into technical issues: water utilities, quality of water, etc.. Implications ECONOMICS ANALYSIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED EXERCICE 14/14
