  2. Systems of Indicators • EEA CSI (7 indicators) • OECD/EUROSTAT (11 indicators on inland waters, 7 indicators on coastal waters) • UNSD/UNEP (10 indicators) • UNECE Guidelines (10 indicators)

  3. UNECE EECCA Indicator Guidelines Presentindicators • Renewable freshwater resources (No 7) • Freshwater abstraction (No 8) • Water losses (No 10) • Household water use per capita (No 9) • Drinking water quality (No 12) • Polluted (non-treated) wastewaters (No 16) • Reuse and recycling of freshwater (No 11) • Biochemical oxygen demand and concentration of ammonium in rivers (No 13) • Nutrients in freshwater (No 14) • Nutrients in coastal seawaters (No 15)

  4. Newly proposed indicators • Total water use • Public water supply • Connection of population to public water supply • Population connected to wastewater treatment • Wastewater treatment facilities (Capacity of wastewater treatment facilities and efficiency of treatment) • Concentration of pollutants in seawater and sediments (excepts nutrients)

  5. International context • UN ECE Convention on the Protection and Use of Trans-boundary Watercourses and International Lakes and the Protocol on Water and Health • The Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea (Helsinki 1975) • The Convention on the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution (Barcelona 1975) • The Convention on the Protection of the Black Sea against Pollution (Bucharest 1992) • the Framework Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Caspian Sea (Tehran 2003)

  6. Policy context (DPSIR) • Total water use (pressure) • Public water supply (response) • Connection of population to public water supply (response) • Population connected to wastewater treatment (pressure and response) • Wastewater treatment facilities (Capacity of wastewater treatment facilities and efficiency of treatment) – pressure and response • Concentration of pollutants in seawater and sediments (excepts nutrients)- state

  7. Format of indicator description General description • Brief definition • Unit of measurement Rerelance for environmental policy • Purpose • Issue • International agreements and targets Methodology and guidelines • Data collection and calculation • Internationally agreed methodologies and standards References at the international level
