Statements of the Water Framework Directive



Water is not a commercial product like any other but, rather, a
heritage which must be protected, defended and treated as such.
The purpose of this Directive is to establish a framework for the
protection of inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal
waters and groundwater.
Our mission is in the scope of the WFD

To prevent the deterioration of aquatic ecosystems

Long-term protection of available water resources

Enhanced protection of the aquatic environment

To ensure the progressive reduction of pollution of surfaceand groundwater

To achieve the „good water status” until 2015
Aims and requirements








To reach „good water status”
Water quality protection should be more coordinated with
water resources management
The unit of the water management is the river basin
To make a plan for river basin management
Have to observe the ongoing processes (monitoring)
To apply the economic analysis in the decision making
procedure of river basin management, insist on the Principle
of „Polluter pays”
Appearance of recovery of costs for water services
To apply the Principle of subsidiarity
Regulation of River-basin
management



To determinate the river basin
districts
Identification of the appropriate
competent co-coordinating
authorities
To ensure the fulfill of the WFD
requirements and to coordinate the
programmes of measures
Tasks to complete in the river basin areas









To determinate the protected areas
To identify drinking water bodies
To determinate surface water bodies and groundwater bodies, and
to establish the monitoring system
To ensure the progressive reduction of pollution of surface- and
groundwater
To enhance the safety of flood-protection
To identify the point and diffuse pollution sources
To regulate the emission limit values
To prepare the programme of measures to the period of 20002015
River basin management approach instead of member states’
borders
Countries in the Danube River Basin
B la c k
Se a
Danube-river basin
13 countries
.
Hungary is situated within the drainage basin of
the River Danube, in the lowest part of the
Carpathian Basin
Flood plains covering close to one-quarter
of the country’s territory, affecting
2,5 million inhabitants in 700 settlements.
95% of the surface water resources of the
country originate abroad
Normal mean flow in the major
Hungarian rivers (m3/s)
GROUNDWATER AQUIFERS
• Groundwater resources are available almost everywhere
• Thick alluvial deposits in the major part of the country,
• Karst aquifers in the mountainous regions
EXTENDED USE OF GROUNDWATER

Except cooling water, 2/3 of the total use is from groundwater
95 % of the drinking water is from groundwater

The main coordinator of the reporting is the General Directorate for
Environment, Nature and Water, with the participation of Environmental
and Water Directorates, the Environmental Authorities and National Park
Directorates, which are coordinating there own tasks, too
