Why invest in water?

The benefits of Cohesion Fund investments in water-related projects are clear to see; spanning economic, environment and social factors.

Economic ✓ Lower costs and improved competitiveness for economic entities whose primary business operations are focussed on the water sector (i.e. private or state water suppliers); ✓ Increased availability of water supplies for consumers and businesses where they otherwise may have been sporadic and unreliable; ✓ Development of new and innovative environmental, water treatment and waste treatment technologies which in turn can bring about increased investment in the EU economy and create high-quality jobs; ✓ The building of modern and long-lasting infrastructure can lead to reduced maintenance charges and processing costs; saving both private businesses and taxpayers money; ✓ Lasting improvements in pipes, treatment plants and other ancillary water infrastructure reduce the need for further investment in the short to medium term; ✓ Planning security for economic activity and development; ✓ Increased opportunities for development of the tourism sector based on greater confidence in the safety of drinking water supplies or recreational waters (i.e. seaside areas or inland lakes).

Environmental ✓ Increasing the quality of water brings clear benefits to public health in terms of reduced illnesses brought about by water contamination by both chemical compounds and natural properties (i.e. E Coli and cryptosporidium); ✓ Expanded water quality projects and infrastructure can benefit the wider environment, including the quality and diversity of all water sources; ✓ More efficient water infrastructure can cut down the need for excessive use of chemicals in the treatment process and the amount of energy used, therefore decreasing carbon dioxide emissions; ✓ Reduced need for more water than is otherwise necessary to be extracted from the natural environment in order to serve domestic and industrial demands.

PAGE 9 Social ✓ Improved human health and the elimination of social and geographic barriers which prevent certain groups from accessing clean water; ✓ Material improvements in the quality of life for residents in areas with decaying urban infrastructure or underdeveloped rural infrastructure; ✓ Increased employment opportunities in relation to research and development into, construction of and maintenance/operation of technologies; ✓ High public awareness of the need to invest in robust water infrastructure can engender lasting debates in communities about water security, quantity and quality; ✓ Increased tourism and investment as a result of improvements in the attractiveness of the area in which infrastructure developments are upgraded.

Bathing Water Directive

The 2006 Bathing Water Directive replaces the former 1976 Bathing Water Directive. It applies to surface waters that can be used for bathing except for swimming pools and spa pools, confined waters subject to treatment or used for therapeutic purposes and confined waters artificially separated from surface water and groundwater. The Directive aims to provide up to date information to citizens about the quality of bathing water, as well as ensuring this quality. As such it requires regular (at least four times a season) monitoring of the levels of intestinal enterococci and escherichia coli in bathing waters. The
