3. MONITORING AND WFD Annex V of the WFD indicates that Information is needed to:  assess the status of waterbodies: chemical, ecological and quantitative.  know the causes of water bodies failing to achieve environmental objectives  produce information for the intercalibration exercise and reporting obligations  produce compliance assessments with the objectives of Protected Areas  define spatial-based reference conditions (where they exist) for surface water bodies  validate the risk assessments carried out under Article 5  evaluate the effectiveness of programmes of measures  estimate pollutant loads transferred across international boundaries or discharged into seas (i.e. OSPAR, BARCELONA and BUCAREST Convention) 3

4. Although most data gathering disciplines treat error as an embarrassing issue to be expunged, the error inherent in [spatial] data deserves closer attention and public understanding …because error provides a critical component in judging fitness for use. (Chrisman, 1991).

14. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS (3 BASINS) KONYA, SUSURLUK & MERIÇ-ERGENE  HYDROMORPHOLOGICAL QEs (Hydrology, continuity and morphology)  CHEMICAL AND GENERAL PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS, RELEVANT SUBSTANCES AND PRIORITY SUBSTANCES (DSI will analyze some parameters)  BIOLOGICAL QUALITY ELEMENTS (invertebrates, diatoms, phytoplankton, macrophytes, fish, macroalgae and angiosperms)  QUANTITATIVE AND CHEMICAL SAMPLING IN GROUNDWATER BODIES 14

15. EVALUATION OF MONITORING RESULTS  EVALUATION OF BIOLOGICAL RESULTS (Indicators /metrics)  EVALUATION OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL AND CHEMICAL RESULTS  EVALUATION OF HYDRO-MORPHOLOGICAL RESULTS  DETERMINATION OF EQSs FOR RELEVANT SUBSTANCES (?)  QUANTITATIVE AND CHEMICAL ASSESSMENT FOR GROUNDWATERS 15

16. ECOLOGICAL STATUS: Surface waters 16

17. FINAL STATUS OF WATER BODIES  Final status: general expression of the status of a body of surface water, determined by the poorer of its ecological status and its chemical status (SWs).  Quantitative and chemical (GWs) Hydro-morphological Physico-chemical Ecological StatusChemical Status + Biological indicators C < legal EQSs Deviation respect reference conditions Pollutatnts c < EQSs calculated 17

18. MONITORING REPORT  Draft a report (both in English and Turkish) based on the outcomes of RBPAPs and the results of the different activities.  Ready to be submitted to EU  Integration of the results in the Water Information System for Europe (WISE)  GIS Maps for surface and groundwater monitoring sites  Update monitoring programmes for all the basins 18

19. TRANSBOUNDARY COOPERATION (MONITORING)  MERIÇ – ERGENE River Basin District  Cooperation with Greece and Bulgaria in monitoring activities  Organize a Cross-border cooperation and experience sharing to: Explain the work on monitoring before WFD and planning of the work to be done in the Turkish part of the basin Agree on commonly used sampling and analytical techniques Exchange taxa and indicators used to assess ecological status 19

20. CAPACITY BUILDING  4 training monitoring workshops on: Groundwater monitoring and determination of thresholds values and the assessment of chemical and quantitative status Chemical and physicochemical status including; determination of EQSs, analytical and lab procedures, monitoring protocols, LODs and LOQs Biological monitoring including; determination of REFCON, sampling protocols, taxa lists, indicators/metrics, ecological status, intercalibration Final status classification of WBs: aggregation rules (spatial and temporal), procedures 20

21. STUDY VISIT  Carrying a study visit to an EU member state to evaluate their experience with monitoring Spanish River Basin District (Guadiana or Tajo River Basins) 5 days visit for 20 persons from ministry staff and experts In-depth and focused discussions on monitoring Field trip to show biological sampling protocols Site visit to show analytical procedures in the lab. 21
