2012 State Of Water Report - Beate Werner European Environment Agency

2 Objectives of EEA 2012 assessments
Specify current challenges for Europe’s Water Resources Provide status and pressure assessment Baseline for integrated view at all water policies Help cross sectoral integrated water management resources, quality and structural changes

3 Water 2012 – suit of assessments
Other EEA reports 2011 Chemicals report 2012 Bathing water report Coastal report Climate Change impact indicator report Urban adaptation Results from different COM contracts on resource efficiency and scenarios Water resources and efficiency; water economics; Hydromorphology, state and pressures; Water and vulnerability (WS&D, floods;) Freshwater status, biodiversity and related pressures; Synthesis – integrated assessment

5 human and ecological economy thresholds of sustainability
Natural system Distance to Target - to fit availability - Depreciation of natural capital Agri- culture Trans- port Public supply Indus- tries Energy Leisure Sustainability thresholds; e.g. Good Ecological Status (WFD), environmental flow The intensity of human activities puts the integrity of our ecosystems on risk However there is not only a competition between nature and human economy; there is also a competition between different human uses and different economic sectors, which might depending on Region and Priorities lead to a different balance. However, all activities together should not impair the integrity of the natural system regarding water quantity, water quality, and any other functions we could call non-extractive or in-stream benefits (swim in, drive on, retain flood, sediment transport….) The ecological limit of sustainability could be for example posed with the requirement of good ecological status under the WFD. We need to find tangible expressions of how to compare the intensity and value of the different elements. – to account for them in cost benefit analyses is so far the most discussed. – The WFD has with several provisions and elements put focus on the economic aspects end requires the specification also of environmental and resource costs The methodology of water accounts given by the Hand book of economic and environmental accounts for water (SEEAW) is developed on a global level, but not yet too much in EU; EEA is actively working to implement it and promote the integration of water accounting approaches into the water administration governed by the WFD implementation. It is not the good ecological status itself that costs, but the way to get there. EEA, Modified after S. Postel / Natural Resources Forum 27 (2003); 89-98

6 Ecosystem capital: systems & services, benefits & costs
Expenditures for environmental protection & resource management Non paid Ecosystem biophysical structures & processes [landscapes, biodiversity, Net Primary Production...] Ecosystem functions [nutrient cycling, water regulation, habitats, biomass...] Ecosystem services [provision, regulation, socio-cultural services] Maintenance & restoration costs non paid by the economy Degradation Non-sustainable use of ES Socio-economic benefits from ES [private & collective well being] Non valued private and collective benefits (mostly public goods) Sustainable macro economic benefits (sector functional income) Physical flows Monetary benefits Monetary costs Primary benefits, externalities & rents (mostly private) Weber, J.-L., 2010, adapted from Haines-Young, R. & Potschin, M.
