Towards a New Integrated Management of Water Resources at Basin Level, Example in Europe--Implementation of the European Water Framework Directive 2000～2015
The Directive of 23 October 2000 intends proposing to the water community policy and to the Member States a Transparent, Effective and Consistent Legislative Framework. The Directive confirms the principles of integrated management and planning at the level of river basins, introduces obligations of results and proposes an overall approach, with a precise timetable, methods and a progressive development of the tools. It defines an objective of Good Status for the aquatic environments before 2015, gives the natural environments their place in the European water policy and preserves the future. The Framework Directive asks for the establishment of hydrological districts in large basins. It recognizes that the search for solutions for better water resources management must pass through an integrated and holistic approach, organized at the relevant level of basins of rivers, lakes and aquifers, either local, national or transboundary. The Directive strengthens transboundary basin management. It introduces the concept of International Basin Districts for which the riparian Member States will have to comply with the same obligations as for the strictly national basins.
