WFD Implementation
WFD implementation refers to how countries put the Water Framework Directive into action to protect and improve their water bodies. It involves assessing water quality, setting environmental objectives, and creating plans to prevent pollution and restore healthy ecosystems. Authorities monitor water status regularly, manage pollution sources, and promote sustainable use. The goal is to achieve "good" water quality across rivers, lakes, and coastal waters, ensuring they support both ecosystems and human needs. Successful implementation requires collaboration among governments, industries, and communities to balance economic activities with environmental protection.
