Monitoring programs in Sweden
Northern calotte water authority meeting
16 – 18 april 2013
4 types of monitoring according to WFD
•Surveillance monitoring - Kontrollerande övervakning
•Operational monitoring - Operativ övervakning
•Investigative monitoring- Undersökande övervakning
•Quantitative monitoring - Kvantitativ övervakning

programme reported
to EU
The first monitoring programme reported in 2007 didn’t
make the EU-commission so happy…
A number of shortcomings in the Swedish monitoring programmes have been
identified.
The Commission however considers these shortcomings serious.
The monitoring networks are therefore considered
incomplete in this first cycle.
Few monitoring stations
Only about 1% of river water bodies (16 water bodies) and 1.5 % of lake water bodies (13 water
bodies) are actually monitored, the results for the other water bodies are modelled.
Little monitoring of biology and hydromorphology
At the same time the sites that are monitored do not cover all biological quality elements or all
supporting quality elements, e.g. there are only 3 sites that cover at least 3 biological quality
elements (all except phytoplankton) but all others cover less. Hydromorphological supporting
elements are not monitored and not applied to ecological classification at all.
What about monitoring of prioritized substances?
As regards monitoring of priority substances, it is unclear if all priority substances have been
monitored. If not all substances have been monitored it is unclear, which substances are monitored
and in which matrix.
Monitoring is the base of all other parts of the RBMP’s
This is particularly serious since it also has repercussions on literally all other parts of the RBMPs,
such as classification, the setting of specific objectives and the identification of measures.
Monitoring program 2012-2015
Bothnian Bay district
Present monitoring:
lots of activities, lack of coordination, metadata/rawdata of monitoring
stations divided on several databases
Water authority:
produce monitoring programs, no
monitoring of our own, we have to use
other monitoring
Criteria for selecting sites and
description of the monitoring
programmes 2012-2015 are described
in reports
•BVVD, BHVD, NÖVD, SÖVD, VHVD
Monitoring programmes are based on
existing programmes

Monitoring programme 2012 – surface waters – surveillance monitoring
• Basically all active stations that monitor relevant parameters, were selected
• 10-50 % of the water bodies in the districts are monitored, less monitoring in
north
• 10 % of the WBs in BB-district is included in the programme reported 2012
Bothnian Bay – monitoring
programme 2012
Surveillance monitoring of ecological status:
Biology
Hydromorphlogy
Phys-Chem
Lakes:
Phys-Chem is monitored in a large
amount of lakes only 1 time/6 yrs
(333 of 376 lakes)

Monitoring programme 2012 – surface waters – operational monitoring
•
•
•
Stations monitoring relevant parameters for each environmental problem were selected
In Bothnian Bay covers the program 197 waters (3% of all water bodies)
Monitoring of acidification and eutrophication dominates despite the fact that hydromorphological
changes is the most common environmental problem in the district.
Operational
monitoring of
ecological status
Monitoring programme 2012 – Surface water – priority substances and
chemical status
•
•
Covers all stations monitoring in water, biota and sediment
About 7% of the water bodies are monitored, more stations at the coast
Surveillance
monitoring of
chemical status
Cd, Pb och Ni most common (400 stationer). Hg
about 100 stations. Organic compound about 20
stations (only in coastal water)
Operational
monitoring of
chemical
status
All stations except metals in water 1 times/6 yrs.
Not related to where problems with hazardous
substances occur.
Improvement since
reporting 2009?
• YES
• A lot more stations reported
• Improved reporting regarding information
of the programme, e.g.
– Design of programme
– Used methods, references
– Motives for frequencies differing from the
overall design
