More than ten years ago, European Union defined guidelines for surface water quality with the 2000/60/EC Directive, or Water Framework Directive (WFD); this is one of the most important water legislation acts for both Member States and candidate countries, which aims to identify strategies in order to safeguard the EU environment. Main subjects of WFD… Continue reading River water quality assessment: Implementation of non-parametric tests for sampling frequency optimization
European Union defined strategies for surface water quality with the 2000/60/EC, or Water Framework Directive (WFD), in order to safeguard Union’s water environment; therefore policies have been implemented and became part of Member States legislations. WFD sets guidelines regarding control of river water quality as well as land use planning. However, there is a real… Continue reading River water quality assessment: A comparison of binary- and fuzzy logic-based approaches
The EU directive 2000/60/EC, also known as the Water Framework Directive (WFD), identifies processes for developing and safeguarding the territory through surface water quality characterisation. This implies controlling pollution loads as well as defining which constraints that are connected to territorial planning. It will be therefore necessary to know in detail the surface water quality… Continue reading Optimization of sampling frequency for river water quality assessment according to Italian implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive
