Objective 2.
To integrate the results and experiences from the cases to European scale
Strong interactions with stakeholders on both regional and European level are necessary to ensure the relevance and
applicability of the final results
Case studies - synthesis and generalization
[Title][Lecturer], Date]
The DSS focus is on chemical status
Areas of EQS exceedanceAreas where the concentrations increase
in time
Case studies
The primary goal of the WFD is to achieve good ecological and chemical status of surface water bodies by 2015
For chemical status this means that the concentrations of the priority substances in water do not exceed the environmental quality standards (EQS)

Case studiesBased on the joint methods and reporting routines within SOCOPSE
-Update inventories, identify main PS sources (using SFA)
-Define potential management options (based on the inventory developed)
-Evaluate costs and benefits for different management options (DSS)
-Interact with stakeholders (during whole process)
-Use experiences to improve the DSS

Case study areas
The five case studies which represent different geographical regions of Europe as well as different scales
The five cases have different characteristics in terms of pollution sources and degree of contamination of priority substances
