  1. WISE TG meeting 3-4 September 2009CopenhagenTopic 4Some ideas for future developments of WISE content Bo N. Jacobsen EEA

  2. Observations from an almost ”new-comer” Outlook for WISE should include a look at the: • Interests and expectations from the users • spatial and temporal dimensions • Time scale of the topics • Data accuracy / uncertainty

  3. WISE users • Environmental regulators (incl. MS reporters) • Water utilities (incl. associations, consultants,..) • Industries (e-PRTR,..) • NGOs and media • The public Water professionals

  4. Current WISE services • Introductionary and explaining texts • Library • Articles, highlights, publications, multimedia • Maps • Maps and graphs, map viewer • Pre-designed statistics • data sets, waterbase, data viewer, indicators, • Calendar • Upcoming events • Data base downloads • data sets, EPER

  5. Some issues to improve: • Precise descriptive content definitions of metadata (reporting sheets, guidance documents) – not only IT formatting • Lowest common nominator sets ”speed of progress” • Lag time between reference period and documents / maps available

  6. Bathing water quality– versus the temporal dimension • Current Mapviewer is among the fastest reportings in WISE • however, showing compliance from previous year

  7. MapViewer – Bathing Water

  8. Bathing water quality– versus the temporal dimension • Current Mapviewer is among the fastest reportings in WISE • Data viewer provides pre-designed statistics: • for each station • for aggregated stations

  9. Data Viewer – Bathing Water

  10. Eye on Earth – updated on current year

  11. Bathing water quality– versus the temporal dimension • But bathing water infections are instantaneous • So for the public, only now- and forecasting is relevant • Existing now- and forecasting services (e.g.,Copenhagen harbour) http://www.vandudsigten.dk/KbhHavn/KbhHavn_Demo.asp?Type=0&dtmFrom=13/07/2009&dtmTo=14/07/2009

  12. Perspectives (opportunities)- ”for the times they are a’changing” User based interests (demand driven): • NGO and public interest in timely, targeted relevant and reliable environmental information – qualifying the debate • Water professional interest in easy and cheap (free) access to comprehensive data series by downloads • Any specific wishes from Member States ? Technology based advances (supply driven): • power of GIS tools (visualisation…) • blog-forum for the public user – to stimulate environmental debates ? • reach-out to both water professionals, NGOs and the public (web-based services…) • Data availability at both spatial and (especially) temporal resolution (near-realtime data…)

  13. The modern sewerage and WWTP systems of tomorrow (Source: SWI project) http://swi.er.dtu.dk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=2 Impact model Warning system Strategy optimisation Spatial rainfall nowcasting /forecasting Realtime setpoint control Realtime setpoint control SCADA system SCADA system Sensor PLC Communication Control håndle Monitoring

  14. Data accuracy:Calculation of overall data variance- simplified example • 3 WWTPs: • 500,000 PE, effluent 3000 + 300 t/y COD (10%) • 50,000 PE, effluent 300 + 75 t/y COD (25%) • 5,000 PE, estimate 50 + 25 t/y COD (50%) Overall variance: s2= 3002 + 752 + 252 = 96,250 Overall std. dev.: s = (96,250)½ = 310 • Aggregated result to be reported: total effluent: 3350 + 310 t/y COD

  15. Example – Lithuania: Total loads and data accuracy

  16. Perspectives (opportunities) Organisational based promotors: • Reporting obligations (INSPIRE…) • Willingness to share data (?) • Data streamlining in international reporting (Reportnet…)

  17. Perspectives (suggestions) • ”Pop-up” facilitated easy access to metadata content definitions • Stratified approach in Data Services enabling links to more extended services (national, regional, local,..) and potential near-online data for selected monitoring stations / emissions – enable WISE to include • Development of data management modules (statistically based data reduction, uniform load estimation methods,..) as a service to MS • Derive indicators (specific loads, energy/resource related efficiencies,..) • Enabling more downloads of data bases primarily for professional users • Establishing blog-forum for the public user – to stimulate environmental debates (resources ? who to look after it ?) • ”marketing” existing data-services to both the public and water professionals targetted different needs and understandings

  18. Thank you for your attention What do you think ?
