1.2.WATER QUALITY, ECOSYSTEMS AND HUMAN HEALTH There has been a change in nitrate levels in the water, although this varies considerably over time and space, and notably in tap water, for which the World Health Organisation (WHO) has set an acceptable threshold of 50mg/l. Estimates show that responsibility for nitrogen discharges into the natural environment lies with agricultural activities for 55%, domestic activities for 35%, and industrial activities for 10%. The quantity of chemical nitrogenous fertilizer spread on a national basis comes to 90kg/ha/year, in addition to 50kg/ha/year for livestock farming effluent. The highest levels can be seen in cereal crop and market gardening areas and in intensive livestock farming areas, where the production of farm fertilizer spread often exceeds the purification capacities of soil and crops. Although current knowledge is still incomplete, phosphorous is deemed to be the key factor for managing eutrophication for internal soft water bodies. The estimates made attribute 25% of discharges into the water to agricultural activities, 50% to domestic activities, and 25% to industrial activities. The quantities of phosphorous spread come to around 30kg/ha/year, of which 60% is from chemical sources. These chemical phosphorous inputs have fallen 50% over 20 years. However, phosphorous inputs from farm fertilizers are concentrated in areas with intensive livestock farming, where phosphorous levels in soils are already high. A report published by the French Environment Institute (IFEN, 2006) reveals that 96% of controls on surface waters and 61% of controls on groundwaters indicate pesticide contamination.
2.2.WATER MANAGEMENT The European Water Framework Directive prescribes that management activities should aim to achieve the goals of the Directive within geographical areas or river basin districts (RBDs). These are based largely on surface water catchments, together with the boundaries of associated groundwater and coastal water bodies. For each RBD, the first milestone of this planning process is the initial river basin management plan (RBMP) which: -records the current status of water bodies within the river basin district; -sets out the measures planned to meet the objectives; -acts as the main reporting mechanism to the Commission and the public. The whole process of river basin management planning includes the preparation of programs of measures at basin level for achieving the environmental objectives of the Water Framework Directive cost-effectively. Basic measures include control of pollution at source through the setting of emission limit values and environmental quality standards. The use of economic instruments, such as water pricing, is part of the basic measures. Here, in particular, the ‘polluter pays’ principle should be taken into account. The planning, implementation, and evaluation of the program of measures is an iterative process that will probably include the RBMP of the first (2009), second (2015) or further cycles (2021, 2027)
