BEVIS I - II
A joint decision support system for effective water
protection measures in the archipelagos of Turku, Åland, and Stockholm
Joint protective measures for water quality were
created in a multinational study for the three archipelago areas of Turku, Åland
and Stockholm. Effective protection plans are needed to achieve a good
ecological status of EU waters by year 2015 as stated by the EU Water Framework
Directive.
Project deliverables
BEVIS phase I (2004-2006)
- a joint database with nutrient loading data from diffuse and point sources, and monitoring data of water quality
measurements in the project area 1
- two different high resolution 3-D water quality models that describe nutrient concentration and/or the amount of
phytoplankton in the project area 1
- model simulations and environmental economic calculations of seven future scenarios for the project area 1
- conclusions of the project results and recommendations for measures
BEVIS phase II (2007)
- new estimations of the phosphorus release from the sediments to the overlaying waters in the project area 1
- a mesoscale water quality model for the project area 2 (Svealand coast)
- model simulations and environmental economic calculations of three new future scenarios for the project area 1
