Developments Bathing water quality On 24 October 2002, the Commission has adopted the proposal for a revised Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the Quality of Bathing Water COM(2002)581 Europeans are very concerned about water quality in sea, coasts, rivers and lakes. They put good bathing water quality on the first line when judging their immediate living environment. Knowing they have clean and safe water to swim or play in is an important factor in their choice of a holiday or weekend destination. Also for the tourist industry, clean and safe water is an important argument to attract visitors to an area. Already back in the 1970's, Europe decided that bathing water quality should be monitored and tested in order to protect bathers from health risks and to preserve the environment from pollution. This resulted in 1976 in one of the first pieces of European environmental legislation: the Council Directive 76/160/EEC on Bathing Water Quality The 1976 Bathing Water Directive has set binding standards for bathing waters throughout the European Union. The annual Bathing Water Report and Tourist Atlas show substantial progress in the quality of bathing waters and large public awareness.

en EUROPA European Commission Environment Policies ... Resources Water policy in the European Union For most people in the European Union access to clean water in quite abundant quantities is taken for granted. Most people do not realise however, that all many human activities put a burden on water quality and quantity. All polluted water, whether polluted by households, industry or agriculture, returns back, one way or another, to the environment and may cause damage to human health or the environment. This site attempts to provide further information on the different pieces of water legislation (and related policies) in the European Community which contribute to a major part that clean water in sufficient quantity becomes a reality all over Europe. Update information on the development, implementation and review of water policies will be available twice a year through the WISE Newsletter, bulletin of the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) Find some more details, in particular about: The new European Water Policy : River basin management Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) Towards a European Action programme on flood risk management Strategies against chemical pollution of surface water under the Water Framework Directive Priority substances under Article 16 of the Water Framework Directive Discharges of Dangerous Substances Directive (76/464/EEC) ...

The Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority plays a vital role in the management of South Coast catchments from Stanwell Park in the North to the Victorian border, including the Snowy River. The Authority was established in 2004 by the NSW Government to ensure the protection and sustainable development of land, vegetation and water resources within the catchment. It answers directly to the Minister for Natural Resources. The Authority sees the development of strong partnerships in natural resource management as critical to its success, and will work closely with the Sydney Catchment Authority, local government, State Government agencies, the Federal Government, community groups, industry and individuals within the catchment to achieve its goals. Building on the two catchment blueprints developed by the former catchment management boards, the Authority will: produce a catchment action plan and investment strategies targeting the areas of highest priority, recommend and manage incentive programs aimed at engaging local communities in natural resource management, provide landholders with the information they need to develop property vegetation plans, and
