Life+ M³ Workshop
Monitoring and data evaluation under the Water Framework Directive – Achievements, deficits and new horizons
on June 16-17 2010 at the "Coque" | 2, rue Léon Hengen | Luxembourg-Kirchberg
M³ is a European LIFE+ Project on the evaluation of programmes of measures in river basin management plans. The identification of pressures on receiving waters leading to specific programmes of measures and the control of the success of the implementation of the latter have to be supported by sound monitoring schemes. How reliable is our information on pressures and can we quantify their magnitude by monitoring techniques. What information is contained in biomonitoring data? How do we setup a monitoring to verify the success of the programmes of measures? These topics will be addressed in the first workshop of the M³ consortium to be held in Luxembourg in June 2010.
