The EU Water Framework Directive requires the development of management responses aimed towards improving water quality as a result of improving ecosystem health (system state). Ecosystems have potential to supply a range of services that are of fundamental importance to human well-being, health, livelihoods and survival, and their capacity to supply these services depends on the ecosystem condition (its structure and processes). According to the WFD, Programmes of Measures should be developed to improve overall water status by reducing anthropogenic catchment pressures to levels compatible with the achievement of the ecological objectives of the directive, and when designed and implemented properly should improve the ecological condition of aquatic ecosystems that the delivery of ecosystem services depends on. Monitoring and evaluation of implemented measures are crucial for assessing their effectiveness and creating the agenda for consecutive planning cycles. Considering the challenges of achieving water status improvements, and the difficulties of communicating these to the wider public, we develop a framework for the evaluation of measures cost-effectiveness that considers ecosystem services as the benefits from the reduction of pressures on water bodies. We demonstrate its application through a case study and discuss its potential to facilitate the economic analysis required by the directive, and that most European water authorities had problems with. Findings demonstrate the potential of the methodology to effectively incorporate ecosystem services in the assessment of costs and benefits of proposed actions, as well as its potential to engage stakeholders.

将生态系统服务纳入水框架指令措施计划的评估中

欧盟水框架指令要求制定管理对策,以改善生态系统健康(系统状态),从而改善水质。生态系统有潜力提供一系列对人类福祉,健康,生计和生存至关重要的服务,其提供这些服务的能力取决于生态系统的状况(其结构和过程)。根据世界粮食日,应制定措施计划,通过将人为的集水压力降低到与该指令的生态目标的实现相适应的水平来改善总体水状况,并在适当设计和实施时应改善能够生态系统服务的提供取决于。监视和评估已实施措施对于评估其有效性并为连续的计划周期制定议程至关重要。考虑到实现水状况改善的挑战,以及将这些挑战传达给广大公众的困难,我们开发了一个评估措施成本效益的框架,该框架将生态系统服务视为减轻水体压力带来的好处。我们将通过案例研究来证明其应用,并讨论其在促进该指令要求的经济分析方面的潜力,而大多数欧洲水务部门对此都有疑问。调查结果证明了该方法在将生态系统服务有效纳入拟议行动的成本和收益评估中的潜力,
