DEVELOPMENT OF SAVA RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT ... - ICPDR

3.1 Workshops in cooperation with SAVA Cards project
The first joint workshop together with the CARDS SAVA project was held at the end of May in
Belgrade. The main topics were Groundwater and Hydromorphology.
The second joint workshop is planned for October; its topics are still to be agreed.
3.2 Workshop in Vienna
As highlighted during the Inception Phase an important tool for the whole WFD implementation
process across all specific topics is GIS. Therefore it is suggested to put GIS as one of the main topics
on the agenda of the workshop in Vienna.
Based on the evaluation of the WFD specific topics during the Inception Phase and from the Sava meta
data templates it is proposed to further focus on Point and Diffuse Source Pollution (with consideration
of the Urban Waste Water Directive) and on Risk Assessment.
The work programme for the Vienna Workshop is proposed as follows:
GIS: practical examples of WFD implementation
Point and diffuse sources:
Data management (including fulfilment of Urban Waste Water Directive)
Pressure analysis
Risk Assessment
The Vienna workshop is planned for September 2006. A specific date and an invitation will be sent out
by the end of June 2006.
3.3 Electronic Workshop follow-up
This is meant as a communication service, where the items and procedures presented and discussed
in the previous workshops and meetings can be further checked and improved during this DRP
component period.
4 Conclusions
Most of the gaps identified in this GEF/DRP analysis for the 3 Sava countries will be addressed during
several activities within this project. In particular these are:
Groundwater (1 st joint workshop with CARDS Sava project): delineation of Water Bodies,
Risk Assessment, information gaps
Surface water (1 st joint workshop with CARDS Sava project, Vienna workshop):
hydromorphological alterations, point and diffuse sources (data management, pressure
analysis, Risk Assessment, fulfillment of relevant EU Directives (UWWD))
GIS (Vienna workshop): preparation of basis data, Water Body delineation, Risk Assessment,
presentation of results.
The topics of the 2 nd joint workshop with the CARDS Sava project are not arranged yet. The above list
will be finalised after determining the programme of this 2 nd joint workshop.
