Assessment of Small, Rural WwTW’s?
CSC 6 February 2008
• Each sector has a contribution to make in terms of delivering WFD/ICM objectives.
• Need to ensure a fair, proportional response from each sector
• Decisions – including POMs – need to be sustainable and based on good science
• Opportunity to review and improve POMs based on on-going research as past of RBMP cycle
Key Messages
CSC 6 February 2008
Summary
1. ICM is high on the radar, but needs careful consideration
2. Integrated data is needed for regulatory requirements,
RBMP’s, POM’s, CFMP’s, Water Cycle Strategies
3. Integrated data is complex! DSS can help, but need to
be applied carefully
4. Increased conceptual understanding of potentially
fragile, but less well understood systems (e.g. hyporheic
zone will help
5. Such data will guide revisions to RBMP’s, investment
decisions and help operational planning
