2 Improved monitoring and forecasting of ecological status of European INland waters by combining Future earth ObseRvation data and Models
3 Why focus on inland waters? Fishing, recreation, water supply, transport, waste disposal, irrigation, increased pressures on EU inland waters asks for sustainable water management Monitoring of inland water quality required by EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) EU Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) EU Shellfish Waters Directive (2006/113/EC) EU Drinking Water Directive (98/83/EC) EU Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) EU Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC) EU Urban Waste Water... Environmental Impact Assessments (e.g. by dredging companies)
4 Blueprint to Safeguard Europe's Water Resources (COM/2012/673) mentions Copernicus THE STATUS OF EU WATERS IS NOT DOING WELL ENOUGH! The Water Information System (WISE) will benefit from the development of INSPIRE, SEIS and Copernicus and from current water research works under FP7 and those to be conducted under H2020
5 Copernicus Copernicus = The European Earth Observation Programme Copernicus services address six main thematic areas:» Land Monitoring (operational)» Marine Monitoring (pre-operational phase)» Atmosphere Monitoring (pre-operational phase)» Emergency Management (operational)» Security (development phase)» Climate Change (development phase) All are provided free of charge to users
6 White Paper Copernicus Inland Water Services Discussion document to extend Copernicus Land Monitoring Service portfolio with inland water services demonstrated in FP7 Space projects Proposed Copernicus inland water services» Irrigation Water Abstraction Monitoring and Control Service» Pan-European Inland Water Quality Monitoring Service» Water scarcity and drought monitoring and forecasting Services» Inland water quantity monitoring service
7 Earth Observation for monitoring inland waters? Today: underutilized complexity and variability of these inland waters lack of adequate analysis methods lack of adequate low-cost EO data lack of uncertainty estimates Report GEO inland and coastal Water Quality Algorithm Workshop, Washington DC, May 2009: There is a lack of appropriate/dedicated satellite sensors for nearshore coastal and inland water quality applications.
8 Earth Observation & biogeochemical models? Assimilation of EO products into biogeochemical models allows for analysis of the cause-effect relationships governing a status change, forecast the response to pressures and evaluate different management actions. the future lies in the combined utilization of in situ data, remote sensing, and modeling.
