Area of Science:

  • Environmental Law
  • Water Resource Management
  • European Union Policy

Background:

  • The European Union (EU) has revised its water policy after 25 years.
  • A new Water Framework Directive was agreed upon in summer 2000.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the key objectives and components of the new EU Water Framework Directive.
  • To explain how the new directive integrates with and complements existing water legislation.

Main Methods:

  • The European Commission proposed the directive, which was agreed upon by the European Parliament and Council.
  • The directive establishes integrated river basin management and a combined approach to emissions control.

Main Results:

  • The Water Framework Directive aims for integrated, cross-border river basin management.
  • It mandates the protection of all waters (surface and groundwater) in quality and quantity, including an ecological dimension.
  • It introduces controlled emissions through a combined approach, phasing out hazardous substances, implementing water pricing, and strengthening public participation.

Conclusions:

  • The new Water Framework Directive represents a significant restructuring of EU water policy.
  • It will complement and integrate existing legislation, such as directives on nitrates and urban wastewater treatment, into a coherent river basin management framework.
