Veröffentlichung Monitoring of Surface Waters in Germany under the Water Framework Directive ̶ A Review of Approaches, Methods and Results(2016) Arle, Jens; Kirst, Ingo; Mohaupt, VolkerThe European CommissionWater Framework Directive (WFD) was established 16 years agoand forms the current basis for monitoring surface waters and groundwater in Europe. This legislationresulted in a necessary adaptation of the monitoring networks and programs for rivers, lakes,and transitional and coastal waters to the requirements of the WFD at German and Europeanlevels. The present study reviews the most important objectives of both the monitoring of surfacewaters and the principles of the WFD monitoring plan. Furthermore, we look at the changes watermonitoring in Germany has undergone over the past sixteen years and we summarize monitoringresults from German surfaces waters under the WFD. Comparisons of European approaches forbiological assessments, of standards set for physical and chemical factors and of environmental quality standards for pollutants reveal the necessity for further European-wide harmonization. The objectiveof this harmonization is to improve comparability of the assessment of the ecological status of watersin Europe, and thus also to more coherently activate action programs of measures.
