IDMP CEE Activity 1.2 by Elena Fatulova
1. Act. 1.2 Review of the current status
of the implementation of DM plans
and measures within RBMP
according to EU WFD
First IDMP workshop – 15-16 October,
Hodrusa Hamre, Slovakia
Elena Fatulova, GWP Slovakia
2. Content
● Background information on EU drought
policy
● Activity 1.2 – aim, tasks, timetable,
partners, outputs
● Questionnaire – draft on place
3. What is EU Drought Policy?
● EU Drought Policy - based on drought risk
management
● Legal framework – Water Framework
Directive
● Drought management plan – part of
River Basin Management Plan
4. Water scarcity and drought policy
Water
scarcity
Drought
man-made phenomenon - recurrent
imbalance that arises from an overuse of water
resources, caused by consumption being
significantly higher than the natural renewable
availability
natural phenomenon - temporary, negative
and severe deviation along a significant time
period and over a large region from average
precipitation values (a rainfall deficit), which
might lead to meteorological, agricultural,
hydrological and socioeconomic drought,
depending on its severity and duration
5. WS&D policy – milestones at EU level
● 2001 - Common implementation Strategy
for WFD (CIS) launched
● 2003– WS&D expert group established
● 2007 – Communication „Addressing the
challenge of water scarcity and droughts in
the European Union” (COM/2007/0414 final)
● 2012 – “A Blueprint to Safeguard Europe's
Water Resources” (COM/2012/673 final)
6. Communication 2007 – policy options
● Putting the right price tag on water
● Allocating water and water-related funding more
efficiently
● Improving drought risk management Developing
drought risk management plans (by 2009)
● Considering additional water supply infrastructures
● Fostering water efficient technologies and practices
● Fostering the emergence of a water-saving culture in
Europe
● Improve knowledge and data collection
7. Blueprint – problems and solutions
● Land use and ecological status of EU waters
● Chemical status and pollution of EU waters
● EU water efficiency
● Vulnerability of EU waters
● Knowledge base and improving governance
● Global aspects – access to safe drinking water
and basic sanitation services
8. What are main outputs of WS&D EG?
