The document discusses the elements and role of monitoring in river basin management plans according to the EU Water Framework Directive. It explains that monitoring is important for verifying understanding of water bodies, identifying current and potential future issues, and tracking the effects of management measures. Monitoring includes both surveillance monitoring of all water bodies every six years and more frequent operational monitoring of bodies at risk. Quality assurance is essential to ensure relevance, procedures, training, and data accessibility. Risk-based monitoring is recommended, with denser monitoring in areas facing higher pressures like agriculture, population, and contaminated sites.
This document analyzes wastewater discharges and pollution from facilities in Massachusetts. The research objectives were to identify facilities contributing to waterbody impairments through permit violations, analyze pollutant load trends at these sites, and note areas for future research. The methods involved using an EPA tool to identify facilities, mapping sites near impaired waterbodies, and assessing facility-specific discharge data. The results showed several facilities consistently exceeded their maximum allowable pollutant loads for substances like nitrogen, phosphorus, and total suspended solids. The conclusion is that some facilities have pollutant trends in long-term violation and future work could involve data clarification and community engagement.

This document discusses methods for assessing water quality in rivers and lakes according to the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It provides examples of determining the appropriate method for different water body types based on key factors like category, type, expected pressures, and most sensitive biological quality element. For rivers, it suggests diatoms are often the most sensitive element and the multi-habitat sampling method for sample collection and sorting in the field or lab for analysis. For lakes, it indicates phytoplankton such as chlorophyll-a concentration is often most sensitive and involves various field sampling techniques and lab analysis of chemicals and phytoplankton. It stresses the importance of standardization, documentation, training and quality control for WFD compliant assessment
The document summarizes Almaz Demissie's presentation on a study tour to the Netherlands to learn about drought and flood monitoring techniques. The tour involved visits to remote sensing companies and universities to learn about their work in areas like crop forecasting, flood modeling, and using satellite data to develop early warning systems. The goal was to identify potential partnerships and ways to improve Ethiopia's LEAP system for managing drought and flood risks. Key areas for future collaboration discussed included validating LEAP's yield forecasts, developing new flood indices, and building Ethiopia's capacity to manage climate risks.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global ocean observing systems by disrupting research vessel operations, interrupting the maintenance of moored arrays and reseeding of autonomous floats, and reducing shipboard observations from ships of opportunity. As a result, there have been losses of approximately 10% in profiles from profiling floats and surface carbon measurements, as well as a reduction in data from coastal observing networks. International cooperation will be key to strengthening observing systems in response to pandemic-related challenges.
Groundwater is an important but finite water resource that is vulnerable to pollution and depletion. Sustainable groundwater management requires adaptive management approaches, scientific tools to monitor resources, and integrated basin management. A successful case in Spain used remote sensing data, GIS mapping of irrigation needs, and collective action through water user associations to stabilize groundwater levels after overexploitation. Key conditions for collective action include clearly defined resource boundaries, monitoring, and graduated sanctions.

Workshop on Ecological classification of surface water bodies in EUWI+ pilot areas of Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova,
June 19 - 20, 2018
Kyiv, Ukraine
This document discusses the importance of hydromorphological data for the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. It explains that detailed hydromorphological assessments are needed for several aspects of the WFD, including typology development, pressure and impact analysis, monitoring site selection, and risk assessment. It also describes the relationship between hydromorphology and biology, noting that hydromorphological alterations can impact aquatic habitats and communities. Risk assessment in particular requires information on both hydromorphological conditions and pressures in order to understand their effects on biological quality elements.
This document discusses quantifying pressure and response for ecological classification of water bodies. It provides examples of quantifying various pressures like eutrophication, organic pollution, and physical alterations. Metrics for biological response are also discussed, including taxonomic composition, abundance, diversity levels, and the ratio of sensitive to insensitive taxa. The aim is to develop significant pressure-response relationships with low variability to allow for reliable water body classification.

Earth observations can help monitor progress on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to water. Satellite imagery and other earth observation data can be used to monitor indicators for SDG targets like water quality, water use efficiency, integrated water resource management, and natural water capital. However, establishing an earth observation-based monitoring system faces challenges like ensuring continuity of data collection, validating indicators in different climates, building national capabilities, and overcoming reluctance to adopt more open approaches. Overall, earth observations have potential to cost-effectively monitor expanded water indicators if integrated into SDG planning and prototyped through further research.

The CAP has been effective at maintaining minimum practices beneficial for water quality through instruments like cross-compliance and greening measures. However, its effects on water quantity have been limited as sectors with large water use are not constrained. Technical innovations to improve water management have spread unevenly in the EU and social innovations see lower adoption rates than technological ones. Factors like farm size, regulations and cultural context influence the uptake of innovations.
The CAP has been effective at maintaining minimum practices beneficial for water quality through instruments like cross-compliance and greening measures. However, its effects on water quantity have been limited. While some RDP measures contributed to better water management, their uptake varied between member states. Other factors like economic incentives and pedo-climatic conditions also influenced effectiveness. Technical innovations to improve water were more developed in some regions, but social innovations saw lower adoption rates overall.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.
