| Abstract |
This document aims to establish a common understanding on the role of sediment in achieving the objectives of the Water Framework Directive, and to provide guidance on how to address pressures on sediment quantity and sediment contamination, in the context of the River Basin Management Plans, and also other policies’ planning instruments. It covers, in particular, the different steps where consideration of sediment is needed. Due to the nature of sediment as integral, natural component of aquatic systems, and its interlinkages with multiple water uses, functions and services, this document builds on the concept of integrated sediment management, considered as the most appropriate approach to manage sediment, and provides practical methods, tools and examples to apply it. The target audience consists of policymakers responsible for drafting RBMPs and local plans, as well as implementers/practitioners, specialists and scientists supporting the implementation of the WFD. As this document promotes an integrated approach which addresses all sediment related issues and related uses, the target audience also includes policy-makers responsible for other policies such as energy, navigation, agriculture, flood and drought risk, biodiversity, climate change, contaminated site management (including consideration of soil and groundwater) as well as other environmental policies. |
