  1. INSPIRE Hydrography – WISE Guidelines Way forward Meeting WISE Technical Group, Ispra 21– 22 January 2009 Huibert-Jan Lekkerkerk (IDsW, NL) Dolors Barrot (ICC, SP)

  2. Objective of presentation • Provide starting point for discussion between WISE and Inspire • Discussion with WISE Technical Group on current status and way forward • Discussion with WISE Technical Group on maintenance and integration of the models • Input for joint position paper

  3. Contents • Timeline for Inspire Data Specifications and effect on WISE • Maintenance of Inspire data specifications • Standpoint from Inspire TWG Hydrography • Options for integration of Inspire and WISE

  4. Timeline Inspire Hydrography • 13, 14 February 2008: Kick-off meeting TWG Hydrography • 7 October 2008: Publication version 1 for internal review • 20 October 2008: comments from internal consultation • 30 November 2008: Publication version 1.5 for testing • 20 December 2008: Publication version 2 • 15 February 2009: End of testing by selected participants • 20 February 2009: End of SDIC / LMO consultation • 26, 27 March 2009: Comments resolution workshop • May 2009: IR approval by EU; Publication • 2011: New datasets published according to IR • 2014: Existing datasets published according to IR

  5. Timeline Inspire Annexes • Annex II: e.g. • Groundwater • Annex III: e.g. • Reporting Units etc • Sea regions • Natural risk zones • Environmental monitoring sites • Production and industrial facilities (e.g. abstraction) • Agriculture & Aquaculture facilities Conclusion 1: many relations with WISE Conclusion 2: New data == data from reporting obligation from 2011 / 2014 onwards

  6. Geographic objects in Inspire vs WISE • River network (“physical objects”) defined in Annex I • Groundwater defined in Annex II • Many other physical objects defined in Annex III • ‘Placeholders’ in Annex I theme Hydrography • Reporting areas, Monitoring locations etc part of Annex III • Waterbodies defined in Annex I • Riverbasin district not yet defined; Annex III theme? • Monitoring point is placeholder in Annex I theme Hydrography; definition in Annex III Conclusion: many (all?) geographic aspects of WISE are covered in Inspire!

  7. Waterbody in inspire

  8. Physical water vs waterbody

  9. Reporting obligations in Inspire vs WISE • INSPIRE: • Only ‘geographic objects’ covered. Exception are waterbodies. • So far no harmonization for what is to be reported (e.g. water quality; status information etc etc) • Extension pattern in Annex I theme Hydrography as informative Annex to Data Specification (non-binding) • Specifications from ‘logical’ perspective for all geographic objects • WISE • Focus on what is to be reported and not to geographic objects. • Geographical objects == carrier of information to be reported • Technical specifications from practical / legislative perspective? Conclusion: Specifications have overlap but are also complementing each other!

  10. Extending inspire with reporting obligations

  11. Maintenance of specifications • WISE: • Owner: EEA? • Submitting organizations: ? Members of WISE TG? • Working group:Technical Group • Control body: EEA? • GIS Guidance documentation constantly revised / updated? • Version management not entirely clear to outside world? • Inspire • Owner: CT • Submitting organizations: All SDIC / LMO’s • Working group: Thematic Working Group • Control body: CT (after review / advice / Inspire committee) • Data specifications have backward compatibility • Version management will be in place; major revisions 3 – 6 years

  12. Quick conclusions • many relations between Inspire Annexes and WISE • New data == data from reporting obligation from 2011 / 2014 onwards • Specifications have overlap but are also complementing each other! • many (all?) geographic aspects of WISE are covered in Inspire! • Inspire is legislation; IR are part of law! • Different maintenance / versioning procedures (strict vs loose) Overall conclusion: WISE / Water Reporting will be affected by Inspire starting 2011 (WFD) Largest effect from 2014 onwards; other reporting obligations

  13. Way forward – options as seen by TWG - HY • Integration of specifications seems way forward; scenario’s: • Two models that have their own specific use case (NULL option) • One model for water reporting (Inspire extended with WISE requirements) • One base model (Inspire) with extensions for specific reporting (WISE) • ?? • Quick poll in TWG Hydrography: • Two (binding) specifications for reporting unwanted • Overlap between specifications also unwanted if different • Inspire seems more generic; WISE more specific

  14. (1) NULL Option • Two models that have their own specific use case + Maintenance to own scheme; less complicated on EEA / CT side - Member states need to fullfill two requirements from same information - Formally impossible -> Inspire is also binding for EU / WISE • Different solutions for similar problems ? If chosen; Hydrography specification should remove reporting use case as a whole ? If chosen: how to connect network / physical waters to WISE reporting

  15. (2) One model • One model for water reporting (Inspire) + Solves legal problem; WISE is fully Inspire compliant + Full integration between physical waters; network and reporting units 0 Changes in model / definition once per 3-6 years • New reporting obligations on existing reporting units require change of Inspire specifications / Implementing Rules ? WISE requirements as addition to Annex I or Annex III?

  16. (3) One base model with extensions • One base model (Inspire) with extensions for specific reporting (WISE) + Solves legal problem; WISE is fully Inspire compliant + Extensions fall outside Inspire IR scope and can have different maintenance pattern + WISE follows Inspire principles: GCM –> DS HY -> WISE + One dataset in MS serves two purposes; reporting is top-up to base data 0 Changes in base model / definition once per 3-6 years - Integration between physical waters; network and reporting units can be more complicated; waterbodies solved in part on model side. ? Additional features needed in Inspire (Annex I or III?)

  17. Input to discussion • Based on current knowledge, TWG – HY prefers option 3 • Joint WISE – Inspire position paper needed? • JRC / TWG-HY: YES • Eea / WISE? • Set the way forward for both ‘projects’ • Set the way for projects (inspire annexes) to follow!

  18. Thank you for your attention! Discussion time!
