Project: Water Framework Directive
  • Title (NL) Water Framework Directive
  • Period 01 / 2004 - unknown
  • Status Current
Abstract
bullet Abstract The implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) is progressing rapidly throughout Europe. The Netherlands is following suit through a number of activities varying from policy-related research, transposition of WFD goals in national legislation, the set-up of monitoring programmes and preparations for the development of river basin management plans. The purpose of this research was to take stock of the ongoing developments and to derive pertinent questions and challenges from these developments which confront the different stakeholders and management authorities involved. This description was mirrored against the present knowledge base and modelling capacity of WL / Delft Hydraulics. On the basis of this study we prepared a capability statement and dedicated website that demonstrates how WL / Delft Hydraulics can assist clients in meeting the various challenges presented by the WFD.
