The Danish Monitoring programme status and the
latest developments and in relation to Water
Framework Directive

• Susanne Boutrup,

NOVANANational Programme for Monitoring and
Assessment for the Aquatic and Terrestrial
Environment

• Atmosphere
• Point sources
• Agricultural catchment
• Groundwater
• Watercourses
• Lakes
• Marine areas
• Species and terrestrial natural habitats
• The National Air Quality Monitoring Programme

3
NOVANA aims at

• Establishing the national and regional status and
  trends of the environment
• Identifying year to year variation
• Distinguishing between natural variation and
  variations due to human impacts
• Identifying the gap between observed status and
  objectives

4
NOVANA strategy

• Integrated monitoring of environment, habitats
  and species (HD/WFD)
• Few intensively monitored stations- every year-
  several parameters
• Many extensively monitored stations-
  representative monitoring- every 6 years-
  selected parameters
