“…Several systems have been used to develop SEEA-Water physical tables [29,30]. At the same time, SEEA-Water has to be useful to others as a platform that combines physical and economic data, being especially suitable for Article 5 of the WFD.…”

“…Pedro-Monzonís et al [29] integrate SEEA-Water and AQUATOOL Decision Support System (DSS), using the latter to fill in the physical water supply and use tables, and the asset accounts presented in the former. Similarly, Dimova et al [30] use WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning System) to underpin the development of asset water accounts within the SEEA-Water platform in Bulgaria.…”

This paper develops a methodology for the economic analysis of water use proposed by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) based on the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Water (SEEA-Water) standard tables. Our proposal satisfies the requirements for the economic characterization set out in Article 5 of the WFD. A case study in the Guadalquivir river basin shows a similar characterization in the baseline scenario to previous studies, including apparent water productivity. The main contribution of our research, however, is the proposal of a methodology that would enhance comparability and knowledge-sharing between regions, countries, and sectors both in the European Union and worldwide.

“…In many regions in Europe, climate change impacts on water resources are threatening the sustainability of the agricultural systems [1,2]. The increased occurrence of drought and water scarcity and Italy [42]. Outside Europe, Australia has already successfully implemented a water accounting framework and uses it actively to support decision-making [43,44].…”

European agriculture and water policies require accurate information on climate change impacts on available water resources. Water accounting, that is a standardized documentation of data on water resources, is a useful tool to provide this information. Pan-European data on climate impacts do not recognize local anthropogenic interventions in the water cycle. Most European river basins have a specific toolset that is understood and used by local experts and stakeholders. However, these local tools are not versatile. Thus, there is a need for a common approach that can be understood by multi-fold users to quantify impact indicators based on local data and that can be used to synthesize information at the European level. Then, policies can be designed with the confidence that underlying data are backed-up by local context and expert knowledge. This work presents a simplified water accounting framework that allows for a standardized examination of climate impacts on water resource availability and use across multiple basins. The framework is applied to five different river basins across Europe. Several indicators are extracted that explicitly describe green water fluxes versus blue water fluxes and impacts on agriculture. The examples show that a simplified water accounting framework can be used to synthesize basin-level information on climate change impacts which can support policymaking on climate adaptation, water resources and agriculture.

“…But building water accounts represents a complex task, due to the difficulty of the collection of the required data and, on the other hand, due to the lack of common European procedures (Dimova et al, 2014;Tilmant et al, 2015;Pedro-Monzonís et al, 2016). Because of the difficulty of monitoring the components of the water cycle and the water management in a territory, hydrological models and Decision Support Systems (DSSs) have become an indispensable tool to provide the required data.…”

A comprehensive study aimed at evaluating the occurrence, significance of concentrations and spatial distribution of priority pollutants (PPs) along the Comunidad Valenciana coastal waters (Spain) was carried out in order to fulfil the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Additionally, PPs concentrations were also analysed in the effluent of 28 WWTPs distributed along the studied area, since these infrastructures are usually considered a significant point source of many of these toxic substances.In coastal waters 36 organic pollutants of the 71 analysed, including 26 PPs (8 of them priority hazardous substances) were detected although many of them with low frequency of occurrence. Only 13 compounds, which belong to four different classes (VOCs, organochlorinated pesticides, phthalates and tributyltin compounds (TBT)) showed a frequency of occurrence above 20% in coastal waters. Toluene was the most ubiquitous pollutant (detected in 100% of the samples) with maximum concentration of 1.6 g/l. All analysed coastal waters showed the presence of PPs, being di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) the most frequent one (detected in 57% of the samples) reaching concentrations up to 15 g/l. In the results obtained until now, there are four compounds that exceed the established Environmental Quality Standards (EQS): octylphenol, pentachlorobenzene, DEHP and TBT exceeded the annual average concentration (EQS-AAC), and only TBT surpassed the maximum allowable concentration (EQS-MAC).Despite its prohibition, endosulfan and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) were detected in 9% and 30% of the samples, respectively, and their concentrations were relatively close to their EQS-AAC value (around the 70 %). The most frequent contaminants determined in coastal waters were also present in WWTP's effluents. Generally, effluents from WWTPs exhibited higher frequency of occurrence and concentration than in coastal waters, except for DEPH.
