The action involves the development of a monitoring strategy at a national river basin district scale for contaminants of emerging concern in four water categories, namely surface waters (coastal and inland surface waters), rainwater runoff, groundwater, and new water (highly polished water resulting from urban wastewater treatment).
The scope is to identify a list of contaminants of emerging concern per water category that are relevant to the local context and develop a monitoring strategy and programme for each water category.
This preparatory action is intended to design and propose an implementation plan for the setting up of an observing and numerical modelling framework for the Maltese Islands. The proposed systems are intended to be applied to Malta’s marine waters with a view to determine baseline hydrographical conditions for Maltese waters, serving to address the assessment processes and objectives for good environmental status of coastal and marine waters.
