WISE aims

• Efficient management of all water-related information at EU level

• Coherence between various reporting mechanisms and needs

• Acces to information / data for various purposes and needs

Status: 14.02.2005

• Close co-ordination between European bodies (ENV, JRC, ESTAT and EEA)• Collaboration with Member States• Spin off to linked activities (INSPIRE, GMES, EIONET, UWWT Reporting, RTD)• Development of WISE tools (reference data, internet prototype, GIS)• Agreement of reporting requirements (reporting sheets)

The “Water Information System for Europe” is:

• an idea/vision (2002)

• a concept (2003) – concept paper published on internet

• a process (2003 …) – CIS Working Group D on Reporting

• a co-operation (between EU bodies and MS)

• a set of tools (GIS, prototype, RTD, …)

• an internet and “single entry” portal (wise.jrc.cec.eu.int)

• a definition of reporting requirements

• a gateway for (public) information (2006)

What is WISE?

Status: 14.02.2005
