The objective of this project was to review issues concerning the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and to consider the scale and scope of the potential cost impacts.
The WFD represents an important departure from previous EC legislation on water quality. It introduces an integrated and co-ordinated approach to water management in Europe based on the concept of river basin management planning. Implementation of the WFD will present decision-makers with difficult choices about the scale, scope, timing and financing of future water qualtiy improvements.
The findings of this study should help to provide valuable information about the scale of WFD implementation costs and emphasises the need for water quality improvements to be considered over longer time horizons than the curent AMP cycles.
