WFD implementation in Hungary
Posted on 15:22 by Gor
In the preparation phase of the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in Hungary Aqua.REKK contributed to the work of the Economics Task Group that developed the national WBMP.
In a multidisciplinary team of experts our role was the development and test of a methodology and a related decision-support system to develop a cost-effective programme of measures in order to reach good water status as defined by the WFD. The decision-support system has been tested on several sub basins in Hungary.
Our activities also included developing proposals for the horizontal economic instruments (Background studies to the 7th chapter):
- Connection points of WDF goals and the local water management problems - status of the agricultural water service;
- Proposal to upgrade the water resource fee;
- Economic instruments to foster the creation of the water protection areas;
