Identifier	BWQ_2006
Short name	WISE-BW2006/7/EC
Registration status	Released 30 October 2009

Name	WISE - Bathing Water Quality Reporting under Directive 2006/7/EC
Keywords	Lake, River, Sea, Water, water quality
Definition	Bathing water quality data and information are collected annually through the Reportnet process. Member States have to report monitoring results on the parameters defined in the Directive 2006/7/EC (or parameters Faecal coliforms and Faecal streptococci as defined in Directive 76/160/EEC which are assumed equivalent) starting from bathing season 2012 at the latest in case of 4 year assessment period. However, Member States can decide to start reporting on the new Directive earlier, i.e. starting from the 2006 bathing season. Directive 76/160/EEC will be repealed on 31 December 2014. Data and information obtained through the Reportnet under the Directive 2006/7/EC are compiled for an annual summary report on bathing water quality in the Community, including bathing water classifications, conformity to this Directive and significant management measures undertaken. Data and information are also used to compile indicator factsheets, associated with the EEA's Core Set Indicators, upon which EEA assessment reports are based. Data collected through the Reportnet process are published in Waterbase, a series of water topic-specific databases and web pages, publicly accessible via the EEA Data Service's web site. Data on the status and quantity of Europe's water resources can be viewed, analysed and downloaded from Waterbase at: http://dataservice.eea.europa.eu/dataservice/avail.... Full details of the data requested on bathing water quality are presented in this specification by table, and include a list of bathing waters identified for the coming bathing season, seasonal information on monitored bathing waters, abnormal situations, short term pollution events and monitoring results of bathing waters based on 2 parameters by new directive 2006/7/EC.
Methodology for obtaining data	The data requested through the Reportnet process should be derived from existing national and/or regional monitoring networks within each EEA Member Country. Member Countries are asked to provide data on bathing water quality according to criteria described in the new Directive 2006/7/EC, and as detailed in this data request. Parameter data should be provided for all national bathing waters. It is expected that these data should provide a general overview, based on truly comparable data, of water quality at an European level. The ETC Water contact person for the WISE - Bathing Water Quality Reporting under Directive 2006/7/EC is Dr. Lidija Globevnik, based at the Institute for Water of the Republic of Slovenija (IWRS), Ljubljana, Slovenia.
