Environmental Information Pyramid
-increased aggregation:- information density- reduction of complexity- capability to communicate- policy relevance Headline
Indicators(5-20, highly aggregated)
Indicator Systems(100-150, medium aggregated)
Basic Data(statistics, measurements, estimations)

A Typology of Eco-Indicators:A Typology of Eco-Indicators:TYPE A: “What is happening?”e.g.. ‘vehicle kilometres driven’, ‘SO2-emissions’, ‘water quality in lakes’, ‘environmental expenditures for air pollution abatement’.(“Descriptive Indicators”)TYPE B: “Does it matter?”Indicators linked with some kind of reference value: like the critical load or carrying capacity concept, health standards, or policy targets.(“Performance Indicators”)TYPE C: “Are we improving?”The ‘eco-efficiency’ of production and consumption processes. e.g.. energy use per unit of GDP; emissions/vehicle km; kg building waste/family house’); water use/litre beer.(“Eco-efficiency Indicators”)TYPE D: “Are we on the whole better off?”Environmental sustainability. e.g.. ‘Green GDP’, or ISEW etc.(“Total Welfare Indicators”)

Main European Water Policies
• Water Framework Directive (WFD)
• Nitrate Directive
• Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWD)
• Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive (IPPC)
• Common Fisheries Policy
• Integrated Coastal Zone Management Strategy (ICZM),
• Marine Conventions (AMAP, BSEP, HELCOM, OSPAR, UNEP/MAP)
23
Core set of water indicators
Previous approach:
• Data from Marine Conventions
• Data from other international organisations
• Data from NRC’s
=> MARINEBASE
New approach:
• Extension of EUROWATERNET to transitional, coastal and marine waters (more systematic, annual update, stronger role of NRC’s, continous involvement of Marine Conventions)

• Meetings–1996 in Rome, 1997 in Rome, 1999 in Venice
• Major activities–Dataflow, indicators, GIS
