| Tiivistelmä: | The merits of a methodology combinining substance flow analysis and mass balances was evaluated with the aid of a case study in order to comply with the Water Framework Directive's (here as: WFD) requirements. The river basin analysis included the analysis of all individual municipal sewer catchments constituting the basin included the description of the main sewers and waste water treatment plants and their performance in environmental and economical terms. Several indicators were evaluated. Described are uncertainties and information gaps arising from the study. A key factor in the evaluation appears to be the choice of the geographic scale. It is indicated through the case study that such an evaluation is of great value for decision makers in the perspective of the WFD implementation, to highlight situations of weak/strong performance and to specify information gaps requiring further research. |
