LRTAP: Application of CLC

  • location of ecosystems which countries would like to protect
  • description of these ecosystems
  • deposition rates based on substance transport and impact models

Objectives

  • good status of water bodies in the EU by 2015
  • no deterioration

Reporting Obligations

  • analysis of pressures, impact, and risk of failing the objectives (2004)
  • measuring programmes, river basin management plans (2009, 2015,

2021)

  • compliance with the objectives (2015, 2021, 2027)
  • common river basin district reports

harmonised data and procedures needed! Germany: federal level, state level (16 Länder) Europe: cross boarder water catchment areas and river basins

WFD: Application of CLC

agreed harmonisation procedure

  • LAWA recommends to report based on CLC
  • 2 implementation guidelines recommend to use CLC

(IMPRESS and draft reporting)

  • location of driving forces (industry, agriculture, …)
  • derivation of substance information (what, how much, where)
  • estimation of model input parameters (evapotranspiration, leaching,

runoff, …)

Objectives: protection of soil from

  • erosion
  • soil compaction
  • decrease of organic material
  • decrease of soil biodiversity
  • soil contamination
  • salinisation
  • sealing
  • flats and land slides

Products e.g. for erosion risk assessment

  • national maps
  • exploration of management methods for erosion reduction
  • development of agri-environmental indicators (good agricultural

practice)

  • EU indicators on actual erosion and erosion risk

harmonised data and procedures needed!
