| Abstract | This report provides an overview of measures to reduce nutrient
pollution from point and diffuse sources. In order to exemplify
different
eutrophication abatement strategies eight case study regions were
selected for a detailed analysis: Denmark, Finland, the Po river basin,
the Ebro river basin, the Rhine river basin, Lake Constance, the Danube
river basin and the Baltic Sea. Eutrophication was a significant
problem in these regions and they illustrate how the responsible
authorities approached the pollution problem, and how they developed
and implemented eutrophication control programmes. The case study
regions cover i) different European regions, ii) lakes, rivers, coastal
and marine waters, iii) national and transboundary settings, and iv)
examples of interlinkages between freshwater and coastal/marine water
management.
The case studies are analysed in view of different aspects such as governance issues (cooperation between sectors and the role of river basin commissions), the role of research, stakeholder participation, choice of measures and funding instruments (e.g. voluntary versus mandatory measures) and time lag effects of measures taken. The report demonstrates the lessons learnt from the case studies and concludes with an analysis of progress achieved and remaining implementation gaps. |
