The Rhine Basin- Objectives and future tasks

The Rhine river basin

200.000 km²

The Rhine = 3rd biggest European river

Folie 2

The Rhine river basin

Inhabitants 58 Mio.

Drinking water for 30 million people

Main stream 1230 km

Navigable 825 km from Basel/ Rheinfelden – Rotterdam

9 states Italy, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxemburg, the Netherlands &: European Union

Coblence – CIPR

Folie 3

1. Nov. 1986 (Schweizerhalle - CH) : Sandoz accident

Fire, 10-30 t pesticides flowed into the Rhine it caused the death of all aquatic life downstream

12. Nov. 1986: The Rhine ministers unanimously adopted the „Rhine Action Programme“ to save the ecosystem

Folie 4

Rhine Action Programme (1987 – 2000)

Guarantee drinking water Reduce contamination 60 „Priority substances“: reduction by 50-70 % (1985-

1995)

e. g. cadmium,

lead, mercury, dioxines…

Construction of basins collecting fire extinction water Warning and alert systems

Salmon 2000 - …an impossible target?

Reintroduction of the

vanished

Atlantic salmon

(† 1958)

into the Rhine

Folie 9

Programme Rhine 2020: Salmon 2020

2020: A population of 7.000 – 21.000 salmon will migrate into the Rhine each year

Until 2009: 5.638 salmons have returned to the Rhine

Folie 10

Rhine Action Programme: overall result

strong improvement of water quality

From a sewer into a living

river!

Integrated management of the Rhine river basin and european directives

2000: EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) legally binding

- Coordination unit: river basin

Target: „good status“ of rivers

(Chemical, biological (MZB, Macrophytes, Phytoplancton, Fish))

2007: EU Directive on the assessment and

management of floods (FD)

- Coordination unit: river basin

WFD - New Challenges

WFD 2000: EU- Water Framework Directive-

from water quality to basin-wide ecological river quality

Hydromorhology Fish life !!! (ecological flow, river structure, river continuity, connection of the breeding grounds to the main river Hydropower, Water extraction)

Diffuse pollution (Pesticides, P, PAH)

Diffuse pollution (N) Groundwater

thermal load of the Rhine-River (Rhine model)

AgroEnvironmental Programme – Baden-Wuerttemberg

„MEKA, SchALVO“ (107 Mio. € per year)

„By choice“ water protection measures „everywhere“

1 Point = 10 €/ha*a

environmental friendly deployment of liquid manure (towing pipe)

No ploughing up of grassland- no herbicides 2

No use of chemical- synthetical pesticides and fertilizers

8

Perennial crops to be planted after harvest of plants with high nitrogen-rests in field

9

Soil covering with plants in permanent crops (100%, 70%, 40%)

Status Waste Water Treatment in Baden-Württemberg

> 99 % of the population is connected to a sewer system / waste water plant

wastewater treatment plants : 990 all comply with 91/271

public sewers ca. 50.000 kilometers

94 % storm water treatment installations :ca. 6.900

Total investments up to now ~ 15 bn Euro,

turnover ~ 1bn € per year

Folie 26

no measures (36%)

(o-PO4-P ≤ LAWA-Orientierungswert)

measures to be checked (55%)

measures necessary (9%)

P- reduction measures in Baden-

Wuerttemberg

Folie 27

Example „Phosphorus – Neckar“ Neckar: 0,13 - 0,17 mg o-PO4-P/L

• o-PO4-P Input: ca. 50% from municipal wastewater treatment plants (485 t o-PO4-P/a)

• WFD status: moderate

• Objectives in BW:

0,2 mg o-PO4-P/L in free flowing rivers, but contribution to Neckar ?!

0,1 mg o-PO4-P/L in impounded (HMWB) Neckar between Plochingen und Mannheim

necessary reduction : 485 t o-PO4-P/a

• Questions :

Reduction of P- load by reducing soil P- contents ?

Possible reduction of P-load by improvement of WWTP (> 91/271) ?

Additional measures „P -Neckar“

Objective: 0,1 mg o-PO4-P/L in the water (at the moment 0,13 – 0,17)

measures in whole catchment necessary

• optimization of P-elimination in WWTP (GK 3-5) by improved chemical P- precipitation by 2012 (WFD- Ordinance BW))

• WWTP- specific definition of „achievable values“

• definition of additional measures in 2. WFD management plan 2015

(filtration)

• step by step approach
