Key point of application of the abovementioned WFD implementation process is the preparation and implementation of measures. The requirements of the directive on this issue are presented in Article 11 (program of measures) of the WFD in which paragraph 1 mentions:
“Each Member State shall ensure the establishment for each river basin district, or for the part of an international river basin district within its territory, of a program of measures, taking account of the results of the analyses required under Article 5 (Characteristics of the river basin, reviewing environmental impact of human activities and economic analysis of water uses), in order to achieve the objectives established under Article 4 (environmental objectives). Such programs of measures may make reference to measures following from legislation adopted at national level and covering the whole of the territory of a Member State. Where appropriate, a Member State may adopt measures applicable to all river basin districts and/or the portions of international river basin districts falling within its territory"
The program of measures shall include the "basic" measures specified in Article 11.3 of the WFD and, where necessary, "supplementary" measures. Supplementary measures are provided in case where the implementation of the basic measures is not sufficient to achieve the objectives. In the following charters the key elements of these measures, as derived from the provisions of the WFD, as well as the Guidance Document WFD Reporting Guidance 2016 are presented.

2.1.3 Supplementary measures
Supplementary measures are those measures designed and implemented in addition to the basic measures where they are necessary to achieve the Environmental Objectives of the WFD. Supplementary measures in accordance with Part B of Annex VI of the Directive could be: – legislative instruments – administrative instruments – economic or fiscal instruments – negotiated environmental agreements
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 2-25 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
– emission controls – codes of good practice – recreation and restoration of wetlands areas – abstraction controls – demand management measures, inter alia, promotion of adapted agricultural production such as low water requiring crops in areas affected by drought – efficiency and reuse measures, inter alia, promotion of water-efficient technologies in industry and water-saving irrigation techniques – construction projects – desalination plants – rehabilitation projects – artificial recharge of aquifers – educational projects – research, development and demonstration projects – other relevant measures
2.1.4 Key type measures
The concept of the key type’s measures has begun to develop gradually since 2012. The Key type of measures, as indicated in the guidance document for Reporting (see. Par. 10.1.2 of GD WFD Reporting Guidance 2016) refer to groups of measures which are included in the program and measures in aim to tackle the same pressures. Each type of measures may include one or more measures of the program measures. Also, any measure can be included in one or more types of measures if the measure is multipurpose.
To this end a list of 25 predefined Key type measures has been established covering the main water management issues as resulted from the application of the first management cycle. Thus, the reporting for the contribution of Article 11.3 (a) measures (Directives) articles 11.3 (b-l) – basic measures, and article 11.4 (supplementary measures) to tackle pressures and to achieve directive objectives is done using Key type measures.

For each Key Type Measure is given a specific quantitative indicators that is related to: The scale of pressure or chemical substance failure in order to determine the gap to be filled in; order to achieve the objectives of the Directive. These indicators are constituting a management tool and they display the best possible estimate of the gap to be filled in order to achieve good status of WBs. Obviously this estimate involves uncertainties and sometimes such indicators may not be possible to be defined. Since these indicators are used to record for any kind of pressure the gap to

The scale and the progress of the implementation of the measure. The value of the indicators is given for 2015 and represent the scale of the measure (e.g. number of WWTP needed to be upgraded). These values are related to the reduction of the pressure required in order to achieve WFD objectives. Values for these indicators are also defined for 2021 and 2027. If all the measures planned in 2015 are been implemented and are operational by 2021 then the value of the indicator will be 0. Where the values for 2015 and for 2021 are the same indicates that no progress is expected during the second cycle management.
Information is given at River Basin level and include the following: The identification of the significant pressures for surface WBs and GWBs.
The Indicator for any kind of pressure detected (according to the indicators set out in Annex 3 of Reporting guidance Document).

3.2 PROGRESS OF PROGRAMME OF MEASURES IMPLEMENTATION
The financing of measures was mainly based on national budget which is relatively limited due to the economic condition of the country. One measure financed by the Swiss Federation (rehabilitation of Vati site)
Progress in the implementation of the 97 Basic measures is summarized in the following table (Table 3 3) and in the Figure below is shown the progress of the implementation of the measures per paragraph of article 11.3

18 of the 20 ongoing measures are expected to be completed by the end of 2015 or no later than the first quarter of 2016 and the remainder 2 is planned to be completed whithin 2016.
The main cause that 10 measures have not started, is the restrictions to obtain the necessary financing. These measures are reviewed in this cycle for the necessity of implementation, based on new data obtained. These measures concern (see. Details in Appendix A): 2 measures of actions relating to the implementation of the Seveso Directive (96/82 / EK). (Measures A/A 9 and 10).
1 of the 3 basic measures planned for the Habitats Directive (92/43 / EEC). (Measure 27)
1 of the 2 measures foreseen regarding the Directive on integrated pollution prevention and control (96/61 / EC). (Measure 29)
4 of the 13 measures foreseen under Article 11.3c for promotion of water efficiency. (Measures 43, 47, 48, and 49)
1 of the 10 measures foreseen under Article 11.3f for point source discharges. (Measure 64)

WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
In one of the 7 measures planned under Article 11.3i on Negative Impact on Situation of Water. (Measure 84)
5 measures tha will not be implemented concern (See. Details in Appendix A): 1 administrative measure, for which the relevant legislation has been prepared and discussed in the Parliement but withdrawn due to public reactions (Measure 41).
1 measure related to the strengthening of administrative structures responsible for monitoring and implementation of directives on the environment as this issue will be addressed at national level as part of the study on Restructuring of the Public Service (Measure 1).
3 measureds for which is considered that their implementation was obsolete. These measures include:
The implementation of a Study for the Strategic Assessment of exclusion zones for new golf courses apart from the already pre-approved by the Cabinet. (Measure 44), which is no longer necessary since all the golf courses have now been licensed and is not expected the limit of number of licenses to be provided for such developments will be increased. Continuation of the hauling of the amount of asbestos that remains in the bottom of the port of Limassol. (Measure 96) which after detailed investigations was considered that is preferable not to move (less environmental damage). Preparation of a study on the installation of an electronic fuel leak detection system in the sea area of the Larnaca oil terminal. (Measure 97). Given the recent developments after the preparation of the program of measures concerning the infrastructure energy of Cyprus (eg the planned construction of a large terminal in Vasilikos as well as the construction of many other oil and hydrocarbons facilities that are already being implemented or will be implemented in the area), it was considered that the measure is outdated at this stage. On this basis and considering the financial difficulties of the Country it is decided not to proceed with the implementation of this measure in order to avoid unnecessary costs.
The implementation progress of the 56 sypplementary measures is summarized in the following table (Table 3 4) and in the figure below is shown in detail the implementation progress of each type of measures according to Article 11.4 of WFD.

13 measures are ongoing and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015 or at the latest 1ο semester 20162..
3 measures have not started due to the restrictions to obtain the necessary financing. These measures are reviewed in this cycle for the necessity of implementation, based on new data obtained.
These measures concern: 1 of the 7 relating to technical and environmental investigation of the possibilities for building small river intakes for groundwater recharge (Measure 128).
in 2 of the 9 measures concerning research, development and demonstration projects, including the following:
Special ad hoc monitoring program of water bodies with high uncertainty in their classification (Measure 147)
Implementation of a program investigating the river basins with uncertain sources of pollutants (Measure 148)
2 Measure 120 on the Elaboration of final design and construction works for the dam Yermasogeia connection to the Southern Conveyor can be considered to be complete as it has completed the preliminary study and until the finalization of the array of projects and their construction is appropriate management of water dam covering the main purposes of the measure.

11 measures will not be implemented are related to: 5 Administrative measures whose feasibility is examined in a specific study carried out by the World Bank in which are discussed the extension of the Water Councils competences, and the possible attachment to them of Communities networks. So the implementations of the following related measures may no longer be appropriate.:
Establishment of single Water Board at District level. (Measure 98)
The administrative investigation of the terms and conditions for the establishment of a Water Board for Paphos District. (Measure 99)
Establishment of single Sewerage Board at District level. (Measure 100)
The administrative investigation of the terms and conditions for the establishment of a Water Board for the Ammochostos District. (Measure 101)
The administrative investigation of the terms and conditions for the establishment of a Water Board for the Ammochostos District. (Measure 102). Measure 107 concernig the Establishment of Code of Good Practice in Garyllis river basin for the elimination of the use of plant protection products, especially those which contain Trifluralin and Alachlor is not necessary as it was found that the presence of these substancesa are due to Vat and not to the use of plant protection products in the area.
Measure 113 concerning the private and public swimming pools are a major consumer of water in Cyprus. and the appropriate fee for the pools that should be established due to significant reactions from stakeholders.
Measure 118 concernig the payment of an environmental fee for licensing private desalination plants as the construction of such new units is not planned.
Measure 120 Preparation of the final design study and construction of projects for the connection of the Germasogeia Dam with the Southern Conveyor Project. The preliminary stady has been completedand and until the finalization of the lay out of the works and their construction the proper water management of the dam seems that covers the main objectives of the measure.

3.3 EXPERIENCE GAINED AND RESULTS FROM THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME OF MEASURES OF THE 1ST RBMP
The formulation and the implementation of the Programme of Measures of the 1st Cycle Management was the basis for the creation of an appropriate structure for the cooperation of the public services and citizens not oon issues related to water management. but also in other sectors related directly or indirectly to the waters. Furthermore, this procces gave oport;unity for the adoption of the appropriate legislation and tools and for the creation if the basic structures through which in future will be possible to formulatie specific actions for the water protection. The following examples are given indicatively: It has established the framework for the cooperation and exchange of information between authorities related directly or indirectly to the water, eg (a) Water Development Department as the main governamental body responsible for water management in Cyprus and the Department of Environment which is the resposmable for permitig Waste Disposal, Department of agriculture, CAPO and Geological Survay Departement I on issues relating to agriculture and livestock, (b) Fisheries and marine Research Department responsible for the marine environment, and General State Chemical Laboratory and Quality Control Service water of the Department on matters relating Control and Water Quality Control Division of WDD, (c) Hydrology and Hydrogeology Devision of Geological Survey Department on issues relating to the mechanisms of the operation of the aquifers.
During the implementation the 1st management cycle are dentified the main issues here it is necessary the systematization of information on water uses and the first steps were made to this direction with the establishment of the register of small point abstractions from surface waters, and the register of the groundwater abstraction boreholes.
The opportunity to improve knowledge on the state of water and the pressure was given and the adoption of more targeted measures is now possible.
The structures of monitoring of water status and the related databases were systematized, improving the accessibility to the relevant information which is now available to facilitate decision making process.
Specific issues were identified which due to lack of structured information they not properly addressed such as morphological alterations of river water bodies.
Due to the nature of the measures which in their majority were administrative or investigative measures in order to improve knowledge on certain issues, the positive effects on the immediate improvement of the situation of SWBs and GWBs are limited.

WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
During the implementation of the programme of measures also are highlighted a number of issues which should be reviewed or should be concretised. for the preparation of the second cycle programme of measures. These issues relate to the following: The planning and preparation of a program should be based both on the real economic potential of the country and the availability of tools and resources of the involved stakeholders. This will prevent the phenomenon of non-implementation of measures due to lack of financial resources observed during the first cycle. It should be noted that the implementation of the first cycle coincided with unforeseen economic developments affected the whole country and resulted in drastic reduction of available financial resources.
Measures should be particularly targeted at strategic pressures and targets, in order to increase their effectiveness. With the knowledge gained from the implementation of the first cycle measures that it will be possible to achieve in 2nd cycle. Thus, the results on improving the status of WBs are expected to be positive.

4. WATER BODIES STATUS - ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES
4.1 STATUS OF WATER BODIES
4.1.1 Classification of surface water bodies
The qualitative status of a surface water body is defined by the ecological and chemical status. Surface Water Bodies are considered with Good status when ecological status and chemical status are both at least" good".
4.1.1.1 Ecological status of surface WBs
According to the provisions of the Directive for the classification of ecological status / potential of SWBs are evaluated biological characteristics, general physicochemical parameters and specific pollutants.
In Cyprus of 204 surface water bodied: Seven (7) River WBs, with total length of 90,1 km, i.e. 5.1% of the total length of the River WBs are classified as high ecological status, Seventy-eight (78) River WBs with a total length of 965,3 km, i.e. 54.4% of the total length are classified as good ecological status/potential, seventy-one (71) River WBs with total length of 683,8 km, i.e. 38.5% of the total length, are classified as moderate ecological status/potential and three (3) River WBs with total length of 36,2 km, i.e. 2% of the total length are classified as poor ecological status/potential. There are no bodies classified as bad ecological status or potential.
Twelve (12) impounded rivers (reservoirs), with total area of 0.9 km2, i.e. 91.6% of the total area of the impounded rivers are classified as good ecological potential, two (2) impounded rivers with an area of 0.8 km2, i.e. 6.7% of the total surface area are classified as moderate potential and one (1) impounded river with an area of 0.2 km2, i.e. 1.7% of their total surface area is classified as bad potential. There are no impounded river water body classified as poor or unknown ecological potential
Five (5) lakes, with total area of 16.6 km2, i.e. 82.1% of the total area of the lakes classified as moderate ecological status, while three (3) lakes (Paralimni, Achna and Oroklini ), which cover an area of 3,6 km², i.e. 17.9% of the total area of the lakes are classified as unknown.

4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES
The setting out of the environmental objectives may be considered as the core of implementation of the Water Framework Directive and requires on one hand the evaluation of the status for each SWB and GWB for the period up to 2027 and on the other the definition of the time period of achieving the good status.
The Directive Water Framework sets out the following main environmental objectives for surface water bodies (WBs): Prevent deterioration of their status,
Restore the good ecological status of surface water with status less than good (or good ecological potential for heavily modified and artificial WBs), and
Apply the necessary measures to progressively reduce pollution from priority substances and ceasing or phasing out emissions, discharges and leaks of priority hazardous substances.
For Groundwater Bodies Water Framework Directive sets out the following main environmental objectives: apply the necessary measures to prevent or reduce the discharge of pollutants into groundwater and prevent the deterioration of the status of all groundwater,
protect, enhance and restore all bodies of groundwater, ensure a balance between abstraction and recharge of groundwater, with the aim of achieving good groundwater status, and
Implement the measures necessary to reverse any significant and sustained upward trend in the concentration of any pollutant resulting from the impact of human activity in order progressively to reduce pollution of groundwater.
Furthermore Water Framework Directive sets out additional objectives for protected areas. These objectives include: compliance with specific standards and objectives specified in other EU Directives concerning these protected areas,
Achieve compliance with the objective of good water status related to protected areas.
When for a particular water body several objectives are applied the most severe among them shall be achieved.
An integral part of the environmental objectives set out in Article 4 of the Framework Directive on water, is the exceptions. Paragraphs 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 of this article describe the conditions and the procedure through which these exceptions may apply. These exceptions range from small-scale temporary exemptions to and long-term deviations from the objectives and include the following aspects:
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 4-51 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
the extension of the deadline , in other words, good status must be achieved by 2021 or 2027 at the latest (Article 4.4) or as soon as natural conditions permit after 2027;
the achievement of less stringent objectives under certain conditions (Article 4.5);
the temporary deterioration of the status in case of natural causes or "force majeure" (Article 4.6);
New modifications to the physical characteristics of a surface water body or alterations to the level of bodies of groundwater, or failure to prevent status deterioration of a body of surface water (including from high status to good status) as a result of new sustainable human development activities (Article 4.7).
The setting out of environmental objectives for waters in Cyprus is done for each water body, taking into account the following: Water status, as evaluated from the data of the monitoring network and the gaps in relation to the overall objective of good status set out by WFD
The scale and the significance of the pressures identified.
The degree of certainty of the correlation of water status to the pressures any the new investigations needed in order to increase this knowledge and effectively address the issue.
The technical and economic feasibility of the implementation of the innervations or the works required in order to achieve good status.
The project planning and design time needed, including any preliminary investigations and studies required for the design of appropriate interventions in order to address specific issues.
The available resources for the implementation of all necessary interventions / projects in order to achieve good status, and the planning of the involved competent bodies.
Any planned new modification of the physical characteristics of a water bodies in order to meet socio-economic and environmental needs and the possibility of failure to achieve the objective of good status for technical, physical or economic reasons.
The inclusion of water bodies in the Register of Protected Areas.
4.2.1 Objectives for Surface Waters
For surface waters with good or high status or good ecological potential the environmental objective set out is non-deterioration of their status.
This objective concerns: 97 river water bodies and all coastal water bodies (22 water bodies), whose ecological status / potential is good or above good,
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 4-52 ECOS Consulting S.A.
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
150 inland water bodies and all the coastal water bodies (22 water bodies), whose chemical status is good.
For surface waters with status / potential less than good the objective set out concerns the amelioration of their status through the implementation of the Program of Measures. The possibility of failure to achieve in time the objectives is also evaluated, taking into account the intensity and the type of pressures identified. In these cases the tests for exemptions based on article 4.4 of 2000/60/EC Directive are applied.
This concerns 27 river water bodies whose ecological status / potential is expected to improve by 2021,
3 inland water bodies whose chemical status will improve by 2021,
50 river water bodies are subject to exemption for extension of deadline for 2021, whose status is expected to improve by 2027,
five lakes with status less than good for which further investigation is required in order to refine the methodology for their assessment.
For surface water bodies whose status remains unknown due to lack of data the environmental objective set out no deterioration of their status while in the program of measures are included specific monitoring programs in order to achieve their classification as soon as possible.
This concerns: 17 river water bodies with unknown chemical status, and
Practically all the lakes for which a complete assessment of their status will be possible after the completion of the proposed measures.
For surface water bodies that their physical characteristics is expected to be subject of new modifications are tested for the application of article 4.7 of WFD. All planning works for the period 2016 -2021 likely to affect the status of the surface water bodies are tested. From these test no water bodies are subject to exemption based on this article
Finally, it is noted that all river water bodies designated as heavily modified water bodies (excluding inland reservoirs), the objective seta out for 2021, is the achievement of good ecological potential by implementing all the measures regarding hydromorphological alterations included in the program of measures. This objective concerns 35 river water bodies designated as HMWBs.

* The above table comprises the 11 ephemeral water bodies that included in the 2nd RBMP as result of the consultation process
4.2.2 Objectives for Groundwater Systems
For groundwater bodies with good status, the environmental objective set out is non- deterioration of their status.
This objective relates to five water bodies
For Groundwater bodies with bad quantitative or chemical status the environmental objective set out is the improvement of their status through the implementation of the Program of Measures. Thus it is estimated that the majority of the GWBs will not achieve the objective in time as the necessary response time is long and may exceed 2027. These water bodies are subject to exception under Article 4, paragraph 4 of WFD for the period concerning the present RBMP
This objective concerns: 1 Groundwater body (CY_16 Pyrgos) for which is expected the improvement of its status
4 Groundwater bodies which are subject to exemption for extension of the deadline by 2021. As mentioned above it is estimated that this exception will be applied also in 2027, given that the required response time of Groundwater bodies to the measures is very large.
For Groundwater CY-1 Kokkinochoria are set out less stringent objectives and is subject to exemption under Article 4.5 of the WFD as its quantitative status, according to the data derived from long-term observations, shows that water level is up to - 30 m below the sea level, and thus the quality degradation of the system. Thus, the achievement of good status as defined for the other GWBs is not feasible. Less stringent objectives that are laid down for this water bay concerning:
for quantitative status of the body, no further deterioration and the gradual improvement of the state of the water level at stable rates as possible, For qualitative status, no further deterioration of the status and gradual improvement of critical water quality parameters.
The above mentioned objectives are summarized in the following table:

4.2.3 Objectives for protected areas
The main objectives set out for each category of protected area are as follows.
Areas designated for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption
For areas designated for the abstraction of water intended for human consumption the following objectives are set out: The quality of the water available for human consumption after treatment shall comply with the requirements of Directive 98/33 / EC on the quality of water for human consumption.
Provide appropriate protection in order to prevent deterioration of water quality and to reduce the degree of treatment for producing drinking water.
The first objective is achieved when the quality standards are met as specified in Directive 98/83 / EC.
The second objective is achieved with the implementation of measures concerning the protection of water quality characteristics for human consumption (e.g. control of abstraction and safeguard zones).
Bodies of water designated as recreational waters
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 4-56 ECOS Consulting S.A.
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
The Objectives for recreational waters is based on the Directive on bathing water and is the protection of the environment and the public health while bathing, as well as the conservation, protection and improvement of the quality of bathing water.
This objective is achieved by the fulfillment of good or excellent quality standards set out in Directive 2006/7/EC.
Nutrient-sensitive areas,
For nitrates vulnerable zones the general objectives set regarding: the reduction of water pollution by nitrates from agricultural sources,
avoid further pollution.
These objectives are achieved through: the definition of vulnerable zones,
implementation of the action program applicable to them,
licensing of all livestock farms located in areas NVZ Licensed Waste Disposal (pig and cattle farms, poultry)
the mandatory application of the Code of Good Agricultural Practice in NVZ areas.
For Sensitive Areas the main objective as defined in Directive 91/271 / EEC is to protect the environment from the adverse effects of the discharge of urban waste water and waste water from certain industrial sectors.
The sensitive areas as designated according to Directive 91/271/EEC are related to surface waters that are sensitive to eutrophication or exhibit increased presence of nitrates.
The objective is achieved when requirement for sensitive areas of the Directive 91/271/EEC are fulfilled.
Areas designated for the protection of habitats or species
The objectives for the Natura 2000 areas are set out taking into consideration the Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC as it is amended and the Bird Directive 2009/147/EC and concern the protection of habitats and species and their structure and functions, and where necessary the improvement of the status of the aquatic environment to the necessary degree for the achievement of the objectives set out for the conservation of natural habitats, wild flora and fauna in Sites of Community Importance and in Special Protection Zones.
Where a protected area of Natura 2000 network is part of a WB or when a WB is located in a Natura 2000 area, the objectives of the WFD for the status of the WB are applied in addition to the requirements for the desired state of conservation.
Some WBs located within the Natura 2000 areas have been identified as HMWBs. In these cases the objective for achieving good ecological potential by implementing the proposed measures for hydromorphological alterations is applied supplementary the objectives for the preservation of the area.

5. MAPPING SIGNIFICANT PRESSURES TO WATER BODIES AND TO KEY TYPE MEASURES
5.1 SIGNIFICANT PRESSURES ON WATERS OF CYPRUS
In the review of pressures on water status conducted for the preparation for the 2nd Water Management Plan in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Framework Directive on Water, analyzed all the pressures on the waters of Cyprus. In this context assessed where possible loads to surface and groundwater. Pressures examined concern: Sewage
Municipal Waste
waste disposal facilities and sewage Vati
Agricultural activities (crops and livestock)
Mining - quarrying
industrial activities
urban development, transport projects and other development projects (eg golf courses)
hydromorphological pressure
Water Abstractions
Aquaculture
The percentage contribution of each pressure the estimated pollutant loads that have affected the state of surface water and the chemical status of groundwater are shown in the following figures:

Figure 5-1: Diffuse pollution sources. Pressure participation rate per category
Figure 5-2: Point sources of pollution. Pressure participation rate per category
These pressures were correlated as to the significance of their effect on the situation both surface and groundwater. A key tool for the association was the results of the monitoring network. With the help of these data shows the following main conclusions.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 5-59 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
5.1.1 Surface water bodies
Of the 204 surface water bodies 41.5% appears to ecological status / potential less good or their ecological status could not be classified and 16.6% showing lower chemical status good or unknown. Note that all the coastal water bodies are in good or better condition.
From the correlation of pressures and loads that receive these water bodies that agricultural activities affect the majority of the body with a status inferior good. The second largest pressure on surface water bodies with a status inferior good is the hydro-morphological changes (related to changes in morphological and hydrological characteristics). The other significant pressures affect a much smaller percentage of water bodies. The key findings are summarized in the following table:

5.1.2 Groundwater Bodies
The characterization of the importance of pressures on GWB from various sources of pollution is mainly based nitrogen load (N) concerns mostly pollution from agriculture and animal husbandry. In particular it examined the correlation of the chemical state of the body by: (a) nitrogen load per unit area of the GWB and (b) the nitrogen charging reason as to limit loading. In particular, the characterization of the importance of the pressures associated with quality (chemical) status of ASS is based on the following criteria: 1. No pressure (DP) where the percentage of N in the total load N ASS from that source is <5%. 2. Non-significant pressure (

The ASS exhibiting reduced the balance relative to 1st RBMP is CY-1, the CY-12, the CY-17 and CY-18. The majority of aquifers in Cyprus are overexploited status.
5.2 BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR MARRING PRESSURES TO KEY TYPE MEASURES
For the definition of Core Measures Types in which the assignment of pressure on the HS the program of measures required measures will be included with the default key types of measures mentioned in par. 2.1.4.
For this purpose herein include the following: summarizes the significant pressures on the HS which exhibit lower state of good by category WR. For this purpose, followed the list and the numbering of the pressures given in Annex 3 of the guide text WFD Reporting Guidance 2016. Pressures referred to in the Annex to the guiding text which have not been assessed as significant in Cyprus, omitted from the tables in this .
For each pressure identified given the total number and the total length or the total area of WR affected by category WR. Also given the value for at least a size indicator of pressure based on the proposed indicators are also given in Annex 3 of the guide text WFD Reporting Guidance 2016, on the basis of the estimates made in the review of pressures.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 5-61 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
For each selected by the above pressure is detected by the Basic Measures Type selected and representative for Cyprus indicators to be used to quantify the progress of the measures within it. For these indicators are given values for 2015 (in fact this value is the base price) and the expected values for 2021 and 2027. In cases where the value of the index for 2021 is 0 means that all the measures included in this category have been introduced and will be fully operational in 2021.
To achieve the above fully followed the models given in Chapter 10.1 and Annex 3 of the guide text WFD Reporting Guidance 2016.

6. IMPLEMENTED ACTIVITIES /ACTIONS TO ADDRESS SIGNIFICANT PRESSURES / SPECIAL ISSUES
This chapter refers to the activities and the actions that have been implemented to date and are related to the special issues described in chapter 2.1.5, and to the significant pressures in Cyprus as described in chapter 5.1.
6.1 HYDROMORPHOLOGICAL ALTERATIONS
Hydromorphological alterations consist a significant pressure on river water bodies of Cyprus. The majority of these alterations derive from infrastructure facilities that are important to society and economy of Cyprus. They are related mainly to water supply works for drinking water and irrigation. Pressures in morphological characteristics of water bodies also derived from urbanization and/or from the development of basic infrastructure works (roads, ports, coastal protection projects, etc.).
To date the Water Development Department and the Department of Lands and Surveys have registered all these pressures and a regulation and licensing framework has been established for activities potential to lead to such type of alterations. More specifically: Water Development Department has created a register of all dams / and weirs in Cyprus and their impacts on river water bodies have been evaluated. Water bodies with significant hydromorphological pressures from infrastructure works that serve important water uses have designated as heavily modified and for them the implementation of special mitigation measures is planned.
A specific regulatory framework for the authorization and approval of new developments adjacent to rivers has been established taking into account both the provisions of the WFD and the provisions of Directive 2007/60/EC on the management of flood risks. Detailed information on these provisions is available on WDD’s website.
Public and private projects and activities with significant impacts on the environment including on the morphological status of the water bodies are subject to environmental licensing in accordance with the Law on Assessment of Environmental Impact of Certain Projects N. 140 (I) / 2005). More information about licensing criteria and requirements is available on the website of the Department of Environment.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and ECOS Consulting S.A. Page 6-67 .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Additionally during the preparation of the 2nd River Basin Management Plan, WDD have reviewed the water needs of rivers and important ecosystems or protected species downstream dams / weirs in order to establish an appropriate hydrological regime for the protection of important ecological features supported by water.
6.2 URBAN WASTEWATER
Urban wastewater management is governed by the EU directive on urban waste water (Directive 91/271). The harmonization of Cyprus legislation with the directive was made by the Control of Pollution of Water and Land Laws of 2002 to 2013 (106 (I)/2002 - Basic Law) and the Law on Sewerage (Amendment Law No 108(I)/2004).
Today in Cyprus, 17 urban wastewater treatment plants operate with maximum capacity of 1.141.350 ep, covering 57 agglomerations. Furthermore the following key projects for sewerage networks are in development: Sewerage System of Athienou Cluster
Sewerage System of Kokkinochoria Cluster
Sewerage System of the Solea Cluster
Sewerage of Astromeritis - Peristerona - Akaki Cluster
These projects are financed by the Cohesion Fund with a total budget of about €139 million.
Additionally, the construction of the treatment plant of domestic sewage, industrial waste, liquid sludge leachates at Vati area is under construction in the framework of the Cooperation Program between the Swiss and the Republic of Cyprus, funded by the Swiss Federation with the amount of 3,55 mil. €.
According to the revised implementation plan of the Directive for the next period 2016-2021 the construction / upgrading of sewerage networks and treatment plants is planned to increase processing capacity by 312.150 ep with estimated total budget of about €480 million. Upon completion of this program, Nationwide will operate twenty-three (23) urban wastewater treatment plants.
Finally within the framework of the Directive, implementation compliance controls of existing facilities are carried out. The relevant reports as well as additional information on these controls are available on WDD’s website.
6.3 WASTE DISPOSAL SITES
The management of solid waste in Cyprus is governed by the Law on Waste N.185 (I) / 2011. In Cyprus currently operate:
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 6-68 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
The Integrated Waste Management Facility (OEDA - domestic solid waste) of Larnaka / Amochostos
The Landfill of Pafos
These facilities have wastewater treatment plants for wastewaters resulting from their operation and waste deposit sites are properly sealed in order to protect waters from the leachates.
Unmonitored waste disposal site in Cyprus are no longer in operation with exemption of Nicosia and Limassol Unmonitored Waste Disposal Site in Vati area. Since 2003, 119 Unmonitored Waste Disposal Site are closed down gradually. For these sites the Department of Solid Waste Management of the Ministry of Interior has prepared a gradually rehabilitation program based on the results of appropriate studies. Information on these studies and the progress of the Unmonitored Waste Disposal Sites rehabilitation works is given on the website of the Department of Solid Waste Management.
6.4 AGRICULTURAL AND FARMING ACTIVITIES
Agricultural activities are the most important pressure of the waters in Cyprus. Pressures on water quality are resulted from both the fertilization of crops and the livestock. Pressures on the quantitative characteristics of the water as well as the planned measures to tackle them are mentioned in the following chapters.
In recent years major efforts have been taken to promote more rational use of fertilizers and best management practices of the wastes from livestock facilities. In this context: Six Nitrates Vulnerable Zones have designated under Directive 91/676 / EEC concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources with a total area of 460 Km2 (see. Details below in chapter 6.8).
A new action plan has been drawn up for the Nitrate vulnerable Zones whose implementation is obligatory (Decree of 2014).
Since 2007 a Code of Good Agricultural Practice has been published which includes water resource protection practices.
In the framework Rural Development Program 2007-2013 a significant number of actions related to the protection of water has implemented which concerns the following indicative activities:
38.120 ha have been included in agri-environmental aid schemes of which 18,100 ha aiming to improve and protect water, 27,9 ha area has been afforested reinforcing tackling to climate change, 3,000 farms received aid for their modernization,
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and ECOS Consulting S.A. Page 6-69 .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
315 people participated in special training sessions for crops and livestock issues and organic farming issues, 80 farmers make use of specialized consulting services in the framework of a specific measure of the Rural Development Program. Control of pollution from livestock holdings:
through legislation provisions for assessing the environmental impact of certain projects, according to which in order to issue a permission for the construction of a new plant or for significant extensions of an existing livestock farm, piggery, poultry, is required to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment Study, Through the provisions of the Pollution Control Law of Water and Soil under which the operation of any establishment causing or likely to cause pollution in water or soils is prohibited, unless the operator of the facility have a Waste Disposal Permit. Waste Disposal Permits set mandatory conditions for the use of manure wastes as fertilizer on crops. Thus, due to the increased cost of fertilizers it appears that most of the livestock wastes are now used as fertilizer. In several cases, the operator can choose to use of livestock wastes as soil improvement or their disposal for processing at anaerobic plants for biogas and energy production.
Despite the great progress that has been made with the above legislative and voluntary arrangements, further strengthening and enhancement of the actions implemented today is needed, as well as the extension of actions concerning information and education of the farmers about available tools for the rational use of water.
6.5 ABSTACTIONS/DIVERSIONS FROM SURFACE WATERS
Abstractions and diversions from surface waters practically resulting in hydromorphological alterations for which a detailed presentation is given in Chapter 6.1. This chapter refers to measures and interventions related basically to the improvement of the efficient use of water for irrigation and drinking water supply which result significant pressures on water and to the potential reduction of abstractions from surface waters.
Water resources in Cyprus are extremely limited, mainly because of the climate (limited rainfall and high temperatures). Thus, much of the water bodies have intermittent flow while most groundwater bodies are in poor quantitative status due to over abstractions.
To address the drinking water (which also has great importance for tourism) and irrigation needs, Cyprus has implemented an ambitious program for construction of 108 dams and weirs and, in recent years, for construction of desalination plants and water recycling facilities (after tertiary treatment) respectively.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 6-70 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Water resources of Cyprus is marginally adequate for drinking water supply and practically insufficient for irrigation. The effects from the reduction of drinking water are obvious and important and affect not only the population of the island, but also the tourism, which contributes significantly to the GDP of the country.
For irrigation is used in greate degree recycled water from 8 Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants with a total capacity of 156.700 m3 / day. In terms of quantities, the total water demand for irrigation in Cyprus has been estimated in recent studies at 150 million. m3. About 40% of this amount is used for citrus trees and other fruit trees, 10% for potatoes, 14% for vegetables and 13% for forage corps. The application of deficit irrigation affects the production at technical level and results impacts at economic and macroeconomic level, as well as on trade at strategic level. Cyprus is a country where the income of farmers has fallen sharply throughout the period 2000-2012 (about 30%).
The main irrigated crops (citrus trees, potatoes and vegetables) are the crops with the greater participation in national income and the trade balance of the country. The application of deficit irrigation affects mainly these specific products and thus affects both the already reduced farm income and national income.
At least, this situation overturns completely the 3rd pillar of the CAP, which requires that agriculture remains a major economic and social driving force in rural areas and an important factor in maintaining a "live" countryside.
In this context many actions have implemented for rational use of water. Already in the first Management Plan had been proposed specific measures for the efficient use of water, such as: Reduce leakages in urban areas and agglomerations at 18% and 22% respectively by the year 2015 - Drafting relative reports.
Draw up a management plan (masterplan) for the external pipelines of the water supply system.
Implementation of recycled water utilization projects promoted by the WDD which are in design stage or under construction in aim to enhance the water balance with recycled water.
Implementation of a pricing policy in accordance with the provisions of the Contract 86/2007 and taking into account the results of the consultation of the Management Plan (special provisions for large families, provisions for uniform pricing to various communities in order to avoid distortions and special provisions for water consuming sectors of manufacturing industries that cannot use recycled water).
Provision for establishing Quota in the pricing policies to be implemented.
Establishment of a central mechanism for the collection and recovery of environmental and resource costs (Water Fund). This Fund should finance activities for the protection of biodiversity.

WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Registration and further evaluation of the data concerning the water quantity and costs in areas that do not served by governmental water works, (Municipalities, Communities, Irrigation Departments / Associations etc.).
Formulation of a detailed water balance for all water categories based on a supply - consumption model.
Crop restructuring study.
Additionally WDD has initiated the dissemination of simple practices for water-saving for households and farmers issuing specific targeted brochures in different languages, to cover a wide range of visitors to the island. WDD has also developed special training materials for pupils in aim to aware them for this issue. This material is available on WDD’s website
As already mentioned a register of dams and weirs has been established by WDD and their impacts on river water bodies have been assessed. Water bodies with significant hydromorphological pressures from infrastructure facilities that serve significant water uses are identified as heavily modified and for them the implementation of specific mitigation measures is planned.
In order to tackle pressures on surface water bodies from abstractions, a roadmap is established with aim to improve management practices. The key points of this road map are presented in the following chapter.
6.5.1 Roadmap for the management of surface waters quantity
In Cyprus, the available quantities of surface waters are not sufficient to cover drinking water and irrigation needs, despite the development of a large number of dams, the expanding use of recycled water for irrigation and the construction of desalination units in order to supply drinking water especially during drought periods.
In order to improve the management of surface water is required the following:
Register of the abstracted quantities from surface waters for drinking water supply and irrigation, including abstractions from shallow wells in the wider bed (already ongoing action)
Study alternative water saving practices for drinking water supply and (especially) irrigation, additionally to these already implemented, such as: Pricing (ongoing)
Reduction of irrigation water transfer losses, concerning repairs / replacement of old pipelines4 (planned for the next management cycle)
Crops restructuring specified at local level after appropriate studies. For this purpose sub measure 10.1.5 of measure 10 of the RDP 2014-20 is applied5
4 Also the substitution of open canals with pipelines (limited application in Cyprus since pipes are used mostly for water transfer).

Improvement of existing irrigation schemes For this purpose sub measure 4.1 of Measure 4 of the RDP 2014-20 is applied6
Increase use of desalination units planning extensions and possibly construction new plants
Increase use of recycled water for irrigation, which involves, in addition to tertiary wastewater treatment plants (which have been implemented for all WWTP) the construction of water storage works foreseen in the sub measure 4.3.2, Action A measure 4 of the RDP 2014-207.
Development of a Quantity Management Plan. The preparation requires: Schematization of the water supply and transfer infrastructure (dams, desalination plants, WWTPs producing recycled water, irrigation areas, agglomerations etc.)
Update of the current and future water needs for drinking water, irrigation and required environmental flows
Update of the hydrological study for the definition of hydrologic regimes for mean hydrological years, drought years (three alert stages) and representative years.
Water balance estimation at monthly or bimonthly step for each water supply scheme e.g. South Pipeline, Paphos Works etc. in aim to assess alternative management practices.
Policy for the water management and for the possible abstracted quantities for drinking water supply or irrigation will be determined in the above mentioned Surface Water Quantity Plan, after examination of alternative scenarios considering population (for drinking water), irrigated areas and type of crops (for irrigation) and the availability of water resources. These quantities should be reasonable, taking into account the overall needs of the agricultural holdings (including e.g. frost protection needs of potato crops) and practicable to apply. Determining the irrigation needs and the permitted quantities abstracted should consider the following issues: Each water supply point may be used from more than one farmers, and
On the same field the crop rotation year after year (rotation) especially for non- permanent crops (e.g. trees), may involve switching from water consuming corps to dry cultivation (from potato to vetch or barley).

6.6 ABSTRACTIONS FROM GROUNDWATERS
Water has always been a resource in shortage in Cyprus. During the Frankish period (1192- 1571 AD) rainwater was stored and wells were used to abstract water. These practices continued during the Ottoman Empire (1571-1878 AD). Systematic management of water resources began during the British colonial rule (1878-1960), concerning drinking water supply and irrigation. The period until the early 20th century characterized by failed attempts to exploit surface water and groundwater resources. Then began an intensive use of groundwater’s which continued during the first five decades of the 20th century, resulting in overexploitation of groundwater resources which lead to depletion of the water level and to gradual salination of groundwater in coastal areas. After 60s the Republic of Cyprus systematically proceeded to design and construction of dams such as Pomos dams, Ayia Marina, Argaka, Lefkara, Yermasogeia, Polemidia and Mavrokolympos After 1974 the construction of major projects began, such as Paphos Irrigation Scheme, Chrysochou Irrigation Scheme, Vasilikos-Pentaschoinos Project, Pitsilia Rural Development Scheme and finally the Southern Pipeline Droject in order to meet water needs.
This effort includes the WDD projects (national projects and projects related to the implementation of Water Framework Directive) for systematic monitoring of the qualitative and quantitative status of groundwater and conducting research and other studies in order to increase knowledge about the status of groundwater. It also includes the switch to new technologies and sources of water in order to alleviate the pressure on groundwater from abstractions. These efforts refers indicatively to the following: The systematic monitoring program implemented by WDD for the status of groundwater and also the research projects in order to increase knowledge of the mechanisms governing the functioning of groundwater systems made by the Geological Survey Department.
The existing and planned projects of WDD for enrichment of groundwater aimed at their quantitative recovery.
The effort to find other water supply sources and their promotion with specific administrative and institutional arrangements (such as the use of recycled water for irrigation).
Moreover, the application of the provisions of the Water Framework Directive and the implementation of the first River Basin Management Plan in Cyprus made possible to identify areas need strengthening of the registering and management of the information on water abstractions. Thus: The register of all abstraction points from groundwater has begun and the first Register of Groundwater Abstractions has established.
The new drilling licensing system has established and rationalized.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 6-74 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
A special website for information of the public on the state of groundwaters and the monitoring results was created and is available on WDD’s website.
During the 1st RBMP of Cyprus measures related to efficient water use, to incentives for conservation and rational water management, and to development of infrastructure and projects in aim to improve the quantitative status of groundwater are implemented.
The results of these measures as well as the results of other activities implemented in aim to improve groundwater status can’t be evident in such a short time due to the long response time of groundwater bodies to any interventions. The campaign undertaken in recent years to protect and reduce groundwater pressures should continue and in some sectors should be intensified.
In this context in order to tackle the pressures on groundwater bodies a roadmap is established in aim to progressively reduce abstractions from agriculture activities. This Road Map includes all the necessary actions for this purpose. Part of these actions is included in the program of measures of this Management Cycle. The remaining actions will gradually be included in the activities of the competent authorities according to their available resources. The key points of this road map are presented in the following paragraph.
6.6.1 Road map for the gradual reduction of abstractions from groundwater for irrigation
Abstractions from groundwater are exceed the annual renewable quantity, resulting in the depletion of the groundwater level. For the restoration of the aquifers affected in aim to be able to act as strategic water reserves, will require a reduction of the abstracted quantities to levels less than the renewable quantities for a few decades.
The control of the abstractions requires: 1. the identification of the locations and the quantities abstracted, 2. the determination of the quantities available for abstraction annually by each GWB, and 3. the establishment and implementation of all practicable practices for water saving.
Regarding the locations of the abstractions the Governmental abstraction points are known and controlled. As it concerns the private abstractions the situation is the following: 1. All private abstraction points have been registered (around 100,000 applications), undeclared abstraction points can be sealed if identified (according to law), 2. The establishment of an electronic data base is pending and the validation of the information registered. A measure for a special contract for this purpose has been included in the program of measures (due to lack of available human resources) 3. The abstraction should be equipped with a water metering system which is checked on site controls.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and ECOS Consulting S.A. Page 6-75 .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
The annual quantities that can be abstracted from any private abstraction point are established through the permitting process, taking into consideration the irrigated area and the corps which should be included in the above mentioned database. These quantities should reasonable and practicable considering the overall needs of the holdings (including e.g. frost protection needs of potato crops). Issues in determining the approved quantities abstraction quantities may be: the use of multiple abstraction point from farmers for irrigation of different fields (or holdings)
the use of one borehole from more than one farmers and
The crop rotation on the same field year after year especially of non-permanent crops, which may involve switching from water consuming cultivations to dry (from potatoes to vetch or barley).
Recognizing the complexity of the issue, these the above mentioned information should be included in this database, in to reflect the real situation.
To determine the annual permitted abstraction quantities from aquifers specific hydrogeological studies should be carried out which will include documented estimates of renewable rates. For this purpose the program of measures includes a measure concerning the implementation of a pilot study "Design of the rational utilization and protection of the Groundwater Body CY -19 Troodos through the preparation of a complete and comprehensive hydrogeological study, comprising an analysis of the natural recharge of the groundwater body and water uses and analysis of the groundwater balance ".
To achieve the balance of abstractions with the annual allowable water abstractions, measures concerning the reduction of consumed quantities should be examined. These may be: 1. Reduction of irrigation water transfer losses, concerning repairs / replacement of old pipelines (planned for the next management cycle) 2. Crops restructuring specified at local level after appropriate studies. For this purpose sub measure 10.1.5 of measure 10 of the RDP 2014-20 is applied 3. Improvement of existing irrigation schemes For this purpose sub measure 4.1 of Measure 4 of the RDP 2014-20 is applied 4. Increase use of desalination units planning extensions and possibly construction new plants 5. increase use of recycled water for irrigation, which involves, in addition to tertiary wastewater treatment plants (which have been implemented for all WWTP) the construction of water storage works foreseen in the sub measure 4.3.2, Action A measure 4 of the RDP 2014-20 .
The implementation of the above mentioned measures a special mechanism of incentives and control is need to be implemented:
(A) This mechanism may include
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 6-76 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
the declaration of the abstraction points in the farmers applications,
the establishment of allowable abstracted quantities in cross compliance obligations by creating a grid of specific obligations associated with the agricultural payment aids,
The obligation to the owner to declare the overall quantities abstracted yearly from each borehole.
(B) Incentives may concern pricing e.g. favorable pricing of reasonable abstracted quantities and higher prices for quantities above reasonable in aim to water saving.
(C) The control mechanism may include sampling controls of quantities actually pumped and controls as response to complaints WDD is already working with the CAPO in aim to control abstraction boreholes (> 5.000 m3 / year).. The control mechanism can be efficient with the integration of the controls carried out by other authorities (such as WDD) to the controls on cross-compliance (for this is required a special administrative act to be issued).
6.7 EXTRACTIVE ACTIVITIES
Cyprus has a long mining history connected with the history and culture of the island. The production of copper from sulphide deposits dating from the Bronze Age (3900-2500 BC), and by the end of the Roman Period Cyprus remained the main copper producer in the known world. The exploitation of copper historically played a key role in the economy and culture of Cyprus. Cyprus became one of the first centers of intensive exploitation of copper in antiquity, while the Latin name of copper (cuprum) comes from the name of the island (originally aescuprium- Cypriot copper and later cuprum). The long, continuous and intense mining activity in Cyprus is evident from the presence of slag (remnants of ancient mines) that is scattered throughout the island.
As part of the implementation of Directive 2006/21 / EC "on the management of mining waste" and on Management of Waste Extractive Industry Act of 2009 (82 (I) / 2009), the Department of Environment carried out the register and the assessment of existing and closed / abandoned extractive waste facilities (ESA). As a result of this activites have registered
159 Active Quarries,
50 Closed Quarries,
1 Active Mine,
32 Closed Mines 14 Mining Leases and
2 Cement Quarries.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and ECOS Consulting S.A. Page 6-77 .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
In recent years radical institutional arrangements designed to protect environment from these activities. Indicatively, some of the conditions set out for the installation and operation of mining and quarrying activities are the following:
In granting planning permission is required the submission and approval by the Competent Environmental Authority, Impact Assessment Study on Environment.
Every five years prepared Environmental Management Study for each installation. This study is an integral term of the license and covers the management of mining waste.
The licensee must take all appropriate environmental protection measures.
The Mines Service may terminate any of the licensed activity which is not in accordance with the above conditions.
Following the termination of the activity should the area be restored in accordance with the Environmental Management Study and the Mines Service instructions. For ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit Mining Service retains such bank guarantees of the restoration costs.
This applies to new plants, but now with the monitoring of water status implemented under Article 8 of the WFD in river monitoring points located downstream of abandoned mines systematically detected high concentrations of metals. This suggests the need for specific rehabilitation interventions. Detailed information on these is available on the Mines Service website.
In this context, priority was given to the restoration of the mine Asbestos which was considered to be the most urgent case of abandoned mine rehabilitation. For other mines out limited works such as fencing excavation, channeling rainwater in directions to limit the effects of acidic drainage and limited pannus of the sites, which in most cases is not successful because the acidic environment. In recent years conducted a pilot program to chloasma Agrokipia mine, from which we draw conclusions for chloasma other mines.
The Mines Service publishes each year an annual report containing information related to the ongoing implementation of legislation and the development of rehabilitation projects implemented. These reports are available on the Mines Service website.
Also, during the implementation of Directive 2006/21 / EC of the Mining Waste Facilities evaluated and categorized based on certain risk criteria. The entire plant mentioned above were evaluated as follows:
Of the 159 active quarries mining, 24 of these are said to have 28 active mining waste facilities. Three (3) mining waste facilities have been classified as Category A because of the risk that in case of structural failure.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 6-78 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Of the closed / abandoned extractive waste facilities quarrying only one (classified as Category A because of the risk in the event of structural failure to cause serious effects on human health.
Regarding mining activities:
All three mining waste facilities in active mine the Hellenic Copper Mines Ltd in Skouriotissa classified as Category A because of the quality of the waste composition.
Of the 38 closed / abandoned extractive waste facilities 34 are classified as Category A because of their quality recommendation with respect to the acidic runoff from rain that potentially can affect the quality of water and soil.
For closed SEN was risk assessment, classification and prioritization in order to indicate which ones need immediate restoration and remodeling. On the basis of this assessment devised rehabilitation program.
6.8 ACTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PROTECTED AREAS
A. Locations for pumping water for human consumption
From 1st Water Management Plan Cyprus designated areas for abstraction of water for human consumption and have implemented specific measures for their protection. specifically: but their publication pending For inland reservoirs used for drinking water has completed the establishment of protection zones by the Department. In this context for the 11 river dams that provide water for human consumption and two reservoirs intended to provide water for human consumption are set four protected areas within which defined management measures to ensure the protection of water. Specifically defined as follows:
Direct Protection Area (AZP) which provides protection in the immediate vicinity of the plant and equipment hydrant barrier against malicious or accidental damage and / or soiling. Close Protection Zone (KZP) protect possible immediate pollution of the reservoir water and the base of which is determined safe distance from human activities and developments which are the main pollution pressure on the reservoir. The zone consists of the area immediately upstream of the dam and the river beds and embankments of rivers whose contribution to flow to the reservoir is important. The width of the band increases with the slope in the region.
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and ECOS Consulting S.A. Page 6-79 .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Greater Protection Area (SPA), which enhances the protection area. Protects water reservoir pressures and significant sources of pollution in the wider catchment area of the dam. Riparian Area Protection (PZP), which aims to protect riparian vegetation and fauna and provide protection to all streams that contribute to the inflow of the reservoir from direct pollution that could be caused by human activities within the riparian zone. It consists of a 5-meter-wide corridor on either bank of river.
Detailed information on the criteria, the process of defining these zones, as well as the suggested settings are provided on the website of the Department. for zoning Protection boreholes providing water for human consumption follow the procedure below:
The Geological Survey Department is preparing a file for each drilling all hydrogeological characteristics. The Water Development Department defines Zones Protection sent from the Department of Environment. Defining Zones follow a procedure for consultation with the concerned departments and services (District Administration, Planning, Environment, Geological Survey Department). The Department of Environment is preparing the notification and submit it for approval and signature of the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, and then publish the Notification in the Official Gazette.
Zones Protection wells used by the Department of Planning and Housing and the District Administration for the proper siting and licensing of various developments within these zones. For each drilling out the following Protection Zones:
Zone I or Zone Instant Protection. The Zone is a radius of 10-50 meters, depending on the characteristics of the aquifer and should be fenced. Zone forbidden any human activity, except for water supply works by drilling. Moreover, traffic and pedestrian crossing prohibited. Zone II or Controlled Zone. The band specified by the band limit of direct protection to a line from which the groundwater will need at least 50 days (usually within less than 100 meters) to reach the point of drilling. Its purpose is to protect groundwater from a microbiological point of view. Zone that the following activities are prohibited, such as: Development of livestock farming, farms, use of manure, the use of pesticides, herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers unless it is in accordance with the Code of Good Agricultural Practice The Industrial activity produces hazardous waste, refinery operation, units waste treatment, waste management, trash, disposal of treated wastewater and sewage in absorption pits, the establishment of service stations, cemeteries, camping sites, sports grounds, hospitals and sanatoria, and the development of quarrying and mining activity and borehole drilling for other purposes, removal materials, creating cavities.

Zone III or Outdoor Area. The Outer Zone is the feed zone of the wells and is quite extensive (can cover a radius of 2 km.). The aim is to protect the source of chemical pollutants mainly origin. Zone is prohibited any industrial, agricultural or livestock activity poses pollution risks from waste or substances used and contained in Tables in the Order. Also, placing of these substances on the ground. Implementation of Agricultural Practice Code is mandatory. List of boreholes for which these zones are available on the website of the Environment Department established.
B. Water bodies designated as recreational waters
Concerns minutes in bathing waters monitored on an annual basis during the bathing season, in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2006/7 / EC "concerning the management of bathing water and repealing Council Directive 76/160 / EEC." For these areas monitored enterococci - Intestinal enterococci and Escherichia coli. These parameters are used for monitoring and evaluating the quality of bathing waters and for classifying these waters depending on their quality. Monitoring results made public by the Department of Environment and is available on the Department's website.
C. Areas sensitive to the presence of nutrients
It regards the areas designated as Nitrate Vulnerable Zones agricultural origin under the provisions of Directive 91/676 / EEC and areas designated as Sensitive Areas in accordance with the provisions of Directive 91/271 / EEC.
For these areas: For the Vulnerable Zones apply the provisions of the relevant Directive and issued (2014) the revised Action Plan provided for therein.
To control the implementation of the Action Plan and ensuring compliance by producers, inspectors determined in each province in order to conduct spot checks. Specifically, they appointed fourteen Control Inspectors from the Department of Agriculture, where the four from the headquarters of the Department, while the other ten of the district offices.
Relevant provisions for subsidies and compensation producers in these areas have been included in the Rural Development Programme.
Also under the action program implemented the following:
Strengthening of information / education / awareness program. Imposition of administrative penalties on farms that do not comply with the Waste Disposal License. Analyses of land from the Department of Agriculture to formulate appropriate rational use livestock waste directives on farms. Promote projects / facilities for rational management of livestock waste (treatment plants) in livestock areas sited within ENZ.

After reassessment that was recently decided to stay the two water bodies in the list of sensitive areas for the next four years. Accordance with the regulations of the Water Pollution Control (Sensitive Areas for Disposal of Urban Wastewater) Order 2013, the area called "dam Polemidia" declared as a sensitive area for the purposes of the discharge of urban wastewater. The area called "part of the sub-basin of the river Garyllis lagoons Vati until lock Polemidia" declared as catchment sensitive area for the purposes of the discharge of urban wastewater.
D. Natura 2000 areas under the Nature Directives (92/43 / EEC and 2009/147 / EC) to protect habitats and species
For these areas, apply the provisions of the Habitats Directive (92/43 / EEC) and the Birds Directive (2009/147 / EC), under which are included in the network NATURA 2000 63 areas. For Network NATURA areas formulated specifically Management Plans.

Directive on the protection of nitrates (91/676 / EEC)
Directive on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (96/61 / EC) as it is required in paragraph 10.1.10 of the Reporting Guidance as they considered as the most important.
7.2.1 Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271 / EEC)
The Directive 91/271 / EOK «for the treatment and disposal of urban waste water", as amended by Directive 98/15 / EC lays down the minimum necessary technical infrastructure in sewage collection and treatment facilities to be available to cities and settlements the European Union, depending on the population equivalent and the recipient of treated wastewater and distinguishing their water bodies which conclude that urban waste water into three categories: normal, sensitive and less sensitive.
It also determines the maximum permissible limits of quality characteristics of treated wastewater to be achieved in discharges from wastewater treatment plants and also provides specific time limits within which the settlements within its provisions, must complete the required in any case infrastructure collection, treatment and disposal of urban waste water.
The provisions defining the required infrastructure, based on the above criteria (population equivalent, recipient category), simultaneously impose time limits within which all the necessary infrastructure should be completed. At the end of the time horizon of the Directive implementing all agglomerations with a population equivalent of more than 2,000 should have sewer and wastewater treatment facility.
The Directive 91/271 / EEC provides for the treatment and disposal of wastewater certain sectors of the food industry. These industries generated a total organic load equal to or greater than 4,000 population equivalents (ICS), you need to process this load before disposal in the aquatic environment to the conditions laid down under specific authorizations by the competent authorities are met.

The harmonization of the Cyprus legislation with Directive 91/271 / EEC was made through the following provisions: on the Control of Water Pollution and Soil Laws of 2002 to 2013 (106 (I) / 2002 - Basic Law)
the Law on Sewerage Systems (Amending Act No.. 108 (I) / 2004),
the Water Pollution Control (Disposal of Urban Wastewater) Regulations of 2003 (PI 772/2003) and
Decree of 2013 on the Control of Water Pollution (Sensitive Areas for Disposal of Urban Wastewater) (PI 280/2013).
The authority responsible for implementing most articles of the Directive 91/271 / EEC in Cyprus is the Minister of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment.
The Environment Department is responsible for: to issue Permits Waste Disposal (AAA)
monitoring required under the 91/271 / EEC,
for the preparation of the Report on the Results of Monitoring of discharges from wastewater treatment plants and the Quality of Water that receive discharges (recipients)
for the preparation of public information report in collaboration with the Water Development Department, and
for the review of sensitive areas every 4 years.
The Water Development Department is responsible for the implementation of sewerage networks and waste water treatment projects in communities (the municipalities the responsibility lies with the Sewerage Boards), participates with the Environmental Department of the Commission for the implementation of Directive 91/271 / EEC, draw up the application program and is the technical advisor to the Cabinet.
The design, construction, operation and maintenance of sewerage networks and wastewater treatment plants are the responsibility of the Sewerage Boards based on the Sewerage Law. The competent authority for the implementation of the above Law is the Cabinet. Also, the Sewerage Boards are responsible for issuing licenses industries connection to the sewerage network.
Cyprus has set one sensitive area for urban waste water discharges by the Water Pollution Control relating to the dam Polemidia waters and territories in flowing surface waters leading to the dam. This area is part of the Register of Protected Areas Article 6 of the WFD.
Based on the Cyprus Accession Treaty to the European Community, 31/12/2012 was established as the transitional period for the installation of sewerage systems and wastewater treatment plants in Cyprus for all agglomerations of more than 2,000, while fixed and three intermediate deadlines for 4 with a population equivalent of more than 15,000, namely:

31/12/2011 to Paphos.
According to the Revised Implementation Plan (IP-2011) Cyprus (Report describes how the Cyprus intends to implement the Directive) on the provisions of the Directive within a total of 57 settlements with a total population equivalent of 995 000, of which: 7 is Urban agglomerations with 736 000 Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, Ayia Napa, Paralimni, Ayia Phyla and
50 is Rural Settlements with population equivalent of 259,000.
The number of 57 settlements, not for an equal number of sewage treatment plants, as there complexing settlements. According to the revised application program due to clustering are expected to have twenty-three (23) municipal wastewater treatment plants with the implementation of the program. with a total capacity equivalent population of 1.14135 million today to 1,590,867.
Applying additional tertiary treatment (e.g. dialysis with or without flocculation-precipitation), properly considered in conjunction with the reuse of treated effluent especially for irrigation. Exceptions are the Paphos WWTP effluents which are available to enrich the underground aquifer Ezousas and then pumped for irrigation. The effluent from industries that fall under the provisions of Directive 91/271 / EEC are available for irrigation.
The sludge produced by wastewater treatment facilities is stabilizing and dehydration and subsequently available for agricultural use and for production of biogas.
Compliance with the provisions of Directive 91/271 / EEC will lead to a significant reduction of diffuse pollution.
Under Article 15 of the Directive applies quality monitoring program of discharges from urban waste water treatment plants which are covered by the Directive. According to the program conducted monitoring of discharges from fifteen (15) municipal wastewater treatment plants in 2011. The program included the following urban waste water treatment plants: Vathia Gonia Agros
Nicosia (Anthoupolis) P. Platres
Limassol - Amathus Kyperounta

7.2.2 Nitrates Directive (91/676 / EEC)
The Directive 91/676 / EEC on the protection of water against nitrates from agricultural sources. The purpose of Directive 91/676 / EEC is to reduce water pollution caused or induced by nitrates from agricultural sources and preventing further such pollution. To achieve the purpose of Directive 91/676 / EEC Member States: obliged in fixing the waters affected by nitrate pollution and those which could be affected if you do not take proper precautions.
define and characterize vulnerable zones all areas of land in their territories, of which drain into the waters designated as waters that are or could be affected nitrates and which areas contribute to the pollution.
In order to reduce nitrate, the MS shall establish one or more Codes of Good Agricultural Practice, which will be made compulsory within EZN by farmers and shall, where appropriate, promotion program of the application, which includes a provision for the training and information for farmers.
establish action programs in respect of designated vulnerable zones in order to reduce and prevent nitrate pollution.
Prepare and implement suitable monitoring programs to assess the effectiveness of action programs established.
In Cyprus, the harmonization with the provisions of Directive 91/676 / EEC was made by the Laws of 2002 to 2009 "on the Control of Water Pollution and Soil". Additionally within the scope of the Directive and included the following provisions: The Pollution Control of Waters (Nitrates from Agricultural Sources) Regulations 2002 (KDP 534/2002).

In relation to the regulation and control functions of the relevant provisions of the Directive apply the following: The Department of Environment is also responsible for the issuance of Permits Waste Disposal (including livestock facilities and wastewater treatment plants) and the adoption of a Code of Good Agricultural Practice. It is also the national contact point with the Commission and coordinate with other concerned departments.
The Department of Agriculture is responsible for the preparation, in collaboration with the Good Agricultural Practice Code Environment Department, implementation of the Code of Good Agricultural Practice and Action Plan for the Protection of Waters by nitrates from agricultural sources.
To Geological Survey Department in collaboration with the Water Development Department is responsible for monitoring under Directive for groundwater and inland surface waters respectively.
With KDP 186/2008 as water groups which are or may suffer nitrates from agricultural sources identified the aquifers below: Aquifer Kokkinohoria
Akrotiri Aquifer
Aquifer Paphos (Peyia)
Kiti Aquifer
Aquifer Polis
Also with the KDP 41/2011 fixed part of Western Mesaoria aquifer (Orounta).
For these areas issued Action Plan which was revised last (2014). All farms (pig, poultry and cattle breeding) within vulnerable zones are subject to authorization (licenses Waste Disposal). The licenses have a limited and require periodic renewal.
To control the implementation of the Action Plan and ensuring compliance by producers, inspectors determined in each province in order to conduct spot checks. Specifically, they appointed fourteen Control Inspectors from the Department of Agriculture, where the four from the headquarters of the Department, while the other ten of the district offices. The audits are performed at random after risk analysis (Risk analysis) made by the Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organisation (CAPO). The audit which is carried out to producers divided into two parts: compliance Checking producer Archive.
The Agriculture Department, wanting to help producers, has prepared relevant Output File

Directives 78/176 / EEC, 82/883 / EEC, 92/112 / EEC on the Titanium Dioxide facilities.
With the new Directive, adopted more integrated approach to the control of the main industrial activities, strengthening the provisions relating to the prevention of emissions to air, water and soil, waste management, efficient use of energy and natural resources and the prevention accidents. Such an approach contributes significantly to the promotion of a high level of environmental protection as a whole, thereby reducing potential pollution shift from one environmental medium to another.
This directive was incorporated into national law with the Industrial Emissions (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 2013, N. 184 (I) / 2013, which entered into force on December 27, 2013, with the publication in the Official Journal the Republic.
The "Law on Industrial Emissions" followed the approach of Directive 2010/75 / EU, replacing previous Laws and Regulations constitute harmonization measures deeds of earlier European Directives. Therefore, they abolished 'on Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Laws of 2003 to 2008 ", the" on the Control of Water Pollution (Wastes from Industry Titania) Regulations 2002 "and" the Pollution Control waters (Residue Disposal Incineration) Regulations 2004 ". The provisions of the above Law and Regulations incorporated in "on the 2013 Industrial Emissions Law".
The purpose of "on Industrial Emissions Law" is the integrated prevention and control of pollution from facilities and activities to prevent and, where that is not practicable, to reduce emissions into air, water and soil, and to prevent waste production, thereby achieving a high level of environmental protection as a whole.
In the scope of the Act covers: The activities set out in Annex IV of the Act, relating to large installations whose potential for pollution (previously referred to as IPPC installations). Examples of these activities are:
power generation (Power Stations) the production and processing of metals, the mineral industry (cement, lime and ceramic products) the chemical industry, waste management (hazardous or not) and landfilling
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page 7-104 ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Other activities such as intensive pig and poultry farming, slaughter animals and poultry and processed animal by-products. Large combustion plants.
The incineration plants and waste incineration.
The plants using organic solvents and emit VOCs.
The titanium dioxide production facilities.
Responsibility for implementing the "on Industrial Emissions Law of 2013" have the Environment Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment and the Ministry of Labour Labour Inspection Department, Welfare and Social Security, since the Act includes provisions both in terms of pollution control of water and soil, and in terms of pollution control of atmosphere.
Basic provision inserted in this Law, the submission of an application and the grant of a (joint) Industrial Emission Permit of the two competent ministers, in order to simplify and better implementation of legislation and reduce unnecessary financial and administrative burden .
Equally important is the welfare import obligation to obtain reliable and valid planning permission and / or a building permit and / or authorization certificate before granting Industrial Emissions Permit.
Other key provisions regarding the use of best available techniques, rational waste management, efficient use of energy and natural resources, to prevent accidents and to return the site operator upon definitive cessation of activities.
In the program of measures not integrated actions, most of the provisions and implementation of actions under the same Directive 2010/75 / EU.

MEASURE DESCRIPTION encouraging farmers is necessary to undertake additional commitments beyond the basic and compulsory and should therefore be implemented voluntary nitrates from agricultural sources reduction program. Provided compensation of producers for beyond the basic requirements reduce nitrogen fertilization. The proposed commitments are: A. Set aside in the cultivation area equivalent to at least 30% of irrigated B. Rainfed crop rotation equal at least 30% of the irrigated area

III. Reducing nitrogen fertilization in dentrokalliergeies least 35% for the species included in the action programs D. Buffer zone width of at least five (5) meters, on average, in plots adjacent to surface waters E. Combination rotation of at least 40% by dry farming, reduced nitrogen fertilization at least 35% and reduce the evaporation of ammonia at least 20%. The nitrogenous fertilizers to be used to contain an inhibitor of urease thus becomes gradual conversion of urea to ammonia and nitrates and thus limited both losses evaporation of ammonia (from 20% to 50% depending on the mode of application) and the leaching of nitrate in the soil.

ARTICLE OF WFD 11.3.i MEASURE CATEGORY Measures to address any other significant impacts on water bodies status. LINK WITH 1ST RBMP NEW MEASURE MEASURE DESCRIPTION During the development of this management cycle identified projects related to water, but which are at an early design stage. Consequently there are no all the available data to permit an examination of these projects on the provisions of Article 4 of the WFD. Also, some entities and individuals plan relevant actions and projects to meet their needs, which are not yet able to communicate.
These projects will be required to mature and develop, and in some instances formed during the following management cycle and perhaps before training the next Management Plan the River Basin of Cyprus in which will be examined in relation to the provisions of Article 4 WFD.
To avoid delays in the implementation of necessary infrastructure projects and investments in Cyprus, falling in these cases and can not be included in this RBMP to be examined according to the provisions of Article 4 of the WFD proposes the following:
Control under Article 4.7 be incorporated into the process of environmental licensing of projects related to water.
The consultation provided for the environmental licensing of this examination will include projects, which further will be posted in the WDD website for a reasonable time, to allow the expression of public opinion.
ctive 2000/60 / EC (WDD) will check the completeness of the documentation and the compatibility of projects with environmental objectives of the Directive. The opinion of the Department will be binding for the project, and the documentation of Article 4.7 will be incorporated in the RBMPs of the next business year. If the project leads to a need to designate a body in ITYS will be examined in accordance with the provisions of the Directive and defined the Good Ecological Potential.

In many rivers of Cyprus rivers then interrupted by arresting works (terracing), road crossings, water metering stations, and diversion works and water storage (dams, Dimmata). The livable (biota) of water will be moving freely along the river corridor (rivers consistency) and to provide the best possible "free-communication" between artificial barriers. Restoration should aim the biocoenosis not only specific types. An important issue is to facilitate the movement of fish and in this case the eel populations acclimated populations of brown trout and seafood species origin (mullet and other species native to the river-coastal wetlands estuary). Removing barriers that interrupt the consistency should be handled in an integrated design throughout the basin. Priorities should be given where the obstacles are no longer using. In some Mediterranean rivers flow intermittent small obstacles created by low terraces or old Dimmata can have special interest as shelters retaining liquids points during periods of drought / drought. Therefore they can not be removed and simply to facilitate the passage of fish with "ichthyodiadromo" (see. Below).

With the interruption of natural flood discharge and the invasion of land and non-land vegetation in the riverbed (chersopoiisi river corridor) the bed of rivers, and especially the active channel, usually narrow. The chersopoiisi riverbed changes the slope and shape of the active channel and the bank. This is often accompanied or supported by backfilling and narrowing of the riverbed from adjacent anthropogenic interventions (agriculture, roads). It is very important in any intervention designed to know the physical conformation conditions of river bed and riparian zone (hydromorphological reference conditions). The physique and standard changes the horizontal gradient of the bed to the riparian zone.

Anthropogenic alteration and intensive use of riparian zones has often eliminate the natural forest plant communities. Their restoration / rehabilitation should be undertaken with scientific guidance to rebuild native conformation reflecting type specific reference conditions The tree planting includes planting native shrubs and trees to population ratios reflecting type specific reference conditions. They never planted alien species. Planting usually follows cleaning works including removal of exotic plant species. Planting should converge with biodiversity conservation objectives (recovery of natural habitat types, and so on).

ARTICLE OF WFD 11.4.vii MEASURE CATEGORY Recreation and restoration of wetlands areas LINK WITH 1ST RBMP NEW MEASURE ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ: Very important are the areas where the river always retains water or "wet spots" (areas or sources topographically low areas of the bed where there is contact with the aquifer). In times of drought and prolonged drought, total dry riverbed can have devastating consequences for livable (biota) for this reason a particularly heavy river corridor is important to maintain targeted "biological refuges." The concept of 'water shelter "is the delimitation of areas where the physical state (or desired state) defines a character standing surface water presence. These sections may have a length of a few kilometers or a few tens of meters in the river corridor. Limits water shelters usually made only in areas where a) there was always continuous flow system or the presence of topographically lower areas of a river corridor. Also included for areas where artificially desired as a mitigation measure of project impact (eg dam) to plan area that retains water even in dry periods. Opportunities for the latter there are many dams in Cyprus. The provision for "aquatic shelters' for the dry season or in situations of prolonged drought is an important measure to protect biodiversity and the conservation of biological quality elements at WR. This is combined with targeted water supplies to these points by upstream dams in operation within their ecological benefits.

Young eel fry having an upward trend (from winter to spring) can climb to some artificial substrates or vrachokataskefes or use bypass channels. The ichthyodiadromoi / channels or artificial climbing substrates for eels are special structures to facilitate this migration. The ichthyodiadromos mitigation intervention is usually a pressure (mitigation measure), other remedial measures should be planned when recovery effort river consistency. Fysikopoiimenes forms of bypass channels (natural by-pass channels) are more efficient and require less maintenance on artificial ichthyodiadromous. Because mimic natural structures-functions of river channels that bypass support and physical dispersion of other biological quality elements. The ichthyodiadromon installation must be done by designing the scale of the basin (or sub-basin). It is important to organize the prioritization of this issue after specialized studies. Any application of fish movement facilitation projects need to be accompanied by scientific monitoring work to ensure the effectiveness of the project.

Based on a recent study realized by the Department seems that fish are absent from many natural waterways in Cyprus and because there is insufficient historical data is difficult to interpret whether this is solely due to anthropogenic pressures, physical agents or combination of anthropogenic and natural factors . For This requires further research, especially the application of the historical ecological research, such as the historical presence of fish in inland waters of the island. Also since there are indications that with enough high degree of certainty can develop a tool for assessing the ecological status or ichthyological index should investigate the possibility of standardized sampling at selected initially rivers and lakes so designated by the Department and the DFMR.

Apart from the above measures SDKP, which have direct synergy with the RBMP measures Apart from the above measures of FRMP, which have direct synergy with the RBMP measures, below additional FRMP measures are listed, which contribute to WFD objectives and RBMP. These measures concern: FRMP Measures that contribute to the protection of Surface Water Bodies from pressures on the hydromorphological features, including the following: PRO-CY_11 "Promoting artificial retaining of sediments in streams", which aims at reducing regular cleaning works of streams, that not only have a large cost but also have significant environmental effects (cleaning of river basins with excavators to remove reeds and vegetation in general which causes significant hydromorphological alterations with negative impacts on river ecosystems) PRO-CY_13 "Restoration of continuity of flow of main streams", which aims to ensure the continuity of watercourses which will be made either by strip expropriation in the lower elevation channel, or by situate public green areas / protective zone along this strip, or through other ways which will investigate the relevant departments. PRO-CY_14: "Recovery and improvement of hydraulic characteristics of streams" that provides:
(a) The study of best recovery practices and improvement of hydraulic characteristics of streams and implementation of Standards/Guidelines for the content and methods of studies on this subject. The study/studies will examine alternative recovery solutions with priority in the promotion of soft (green) interventions in the river bed and riparian areas (using environmentally friendly materials such as rock fills gabions instead of concrete investments, etc.). In any case, the studies will take into account the commitments and obligations which arise from the provisions of the second RBMP and the environmental legislation.
(b) The implementation of Study/Studies concerning the possibility of exploring and promoting recovery and upgrading works of streams, in order to be met the needs of secure routing 20-year flood on 19 ASPFR in positions that are identified by the Flood Risk Assessment.

Almyrou and Aliki downstream the motorway A1 in order to serve the 20-years flood and projects (widening, shaping sidewalls input-output) and interventions (cleaning, removal of transverse pipes, river bed protection) for the upgrade of crossings.
During the planning of these interventions should be considered that the WB is integrated in the register of protected areas of Article 6 of the WFD since they are water bodies which are associated with protected species and habitats. Thus, any intervention should ensure the preservation of the quality characteristics of the water in the area. 7. For the lake WR CY_7-2-6_16_L2-HM Paralimni, the FRMP provides the measure PRO- C07_01 «Control of outflows of Paralimni Lake" which includes of existing infrastructure for controlled evacuation and exploitation of Paralimni lake waters and a plan of for the controlled regulation of outflows from Lake Paralimni using the evacuation tunnel to ensure protection against flood with return period of 100 years. These interventions should take account of the requirements resulting from the study of WDD on the specific conditions of Lake Paralimni and maintain its characteristics. The controlled adjustment of the effluent will also help to better environmental management of the lake’s water (better control of the quantities which removed and when this is done to ensure and protect the species). Also, the lake is integrated in the Register of Protected Areas under Article 6 of WDF as a Water Body that is related to protected species and habitats. Thus, any intervention should ensure the preservation of the quality of water features.

1. FRAMEWORK-IMPLEMENTATION OF DIRECTIVE 2000/60 / EC
The Directive 2000/60 / EC establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy or otherwise Framework Directive (WFD), after a long period of discussions and negotiations between the European Union Member States, entered into force on December 22, 2000.
It is a comprehensive and innovative effort to protect and manage water resources and the most basic institutional tool introduced in the water sector at EU level, with similar tools to be adopted at international level for many years, reflecting the trend toward integrated environmental planning and sustainable management for long-term protection of all waters (surface and groundwater) and ecosystems. Key elements of the Directive are: The protection of aquatic ecosystems, preventing further deterioration of their situation and the long-term improvement in combination with improved immediately dependent terrestrial ecosystems and wetlands in terms of their water needs. The promotion of sustainable water use based on long-term protection of available water resources. The improvement of the aquatic environment through implementation of specific measures for the gradual reduction of pollutant discharge of priority substances and eliminate discharges of toxic pollutants priority substances. Ensuring the progressive reduction of pollution of groundwater and prevent its further contamination. The mitigation of floods and droughts.
The main purpose of the Directive as defined in Article 4, is to achieve "good status" for all water bodies (inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters and groundwater) at the latest by the year 2015.
To achieve the WFD objectives Member States (MS) should implement the following actions: To identify the individual river basins lying within their national territory, to subject them to individual River Basin Districts (RWB) and to determine the competent authorities for the implementation of the WFD by 2003 (Article 3, Article 24) . To characterize the RWB in terms of pressures and impacts and to undertake an economic analysis of water use, while preparing a register of protected areas lying within the RWB by 2004 (Article 5, Article 6, Annex II, Annex III) . To carry out, jointly and together with the European Commission, the intercalibration of the classification systems of ecological status by 2006 (Article 2, paragraph 22, Annex V). To make operational the monitoring networks by 2006 (Article 8).
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page - 5 - ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
Based on the monitoring and analysis of RWB characteristics to identify by 2009 a program of measures to achieve the environmental objectives of the WFD cost- effectively (Article 11, Annex III). To produce and publish River Basin Management Plans (RBMPs) for each RWB including identification of Highly Modified Water Bodies (ITYS), by 2009 (Article 13, Article 4.3). To make the measures of the program operational by 2012 (Article 11). To implement water pricing policies that enhance the sustainability of water resources by 2010 (Article 9).
Implementation of the WFD in Cyprus
The Republic of Cyprus has fully transposed the WFD in the National Legislation with the "On the Protection and Management of the 2004 Water Law" (N13 (I) / 2004). The law approved by the House of Representatives on February 5, 2004 and published in the Official Gazette of the Republic on February 20, 2004 (No.3812, pages 85, 1 (1) -180, 1 (1)) with effect from December 22, 2003.
In application of Article 3, the entire island of Cyprus is considered as a RWB consisting of all 70 major watersheds. It noted that according to the provisions of Protocol No. 10, which is attached to the Act of Accession of Cyprus to the EU, implementation of the acquis is suspended in those areas of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control. Thus, the area controlled by the Government of the Republic includes 47 major watersheds.
In addition, the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Cyprus and the Government of Great Britain United Kingdom and Northern Ireland on the responsibility for the implementation of Protocol No. 3, which is attached to the Act of Accession of Cyprus to the EU, provides for the WFD in the Sovereign base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia in Cyprus.
Competent Authority for the implementation of the provisions of WFD is the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment. The Competent Authority is responsible for the entire RWB.
Cyprus has so far implemented the Directive (Articles 5, 6, 8, 9 and 14) through the following Conventions: WDD 39/03/61 – Special Consultancy for the Implementation of Articles 5 and 6 of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC WDD 46/2005 - Development of Integrated Water Monitoring Programmes and Tools for cost - effective Monitoring and assessment to support sustainability of water resources and the implementation of Water Framework Directive 2000/60 / EC in Cyprus Department 8/2006 - Provision of Specialized Services for the Information Reference Design that will be used for the Economic Analysis of Water Use and Water Pricing Policies Application according to Water Framework Directive 2000/60 / EK Cyprus

The plan was published and came into force on 9 June 2011. In this plan, set environmental objectives for water for the years 2015, 2021 and 2027 and determined program of measures to achieve those objectives.
Since the publication of the project to date, the Contracting Authority (WDD) and other relevant departments are trying to achieve the target for 2015. In this context, continuing the Water Monitoring Program whose results contribute to the understanding of the pressures and impacts exerted on aqueous environment and the effectiveness of actions taken to address them.
Meanwhile began to update the Management Plan by the Contracting Authority.
O WFD second management cycle starts with the so-called "analysis of Article 5 ', whereby Member States have to identify the significant pressures which put at risk the achievement of good status of WR. The Department implemented the contract IOs 1/2014 'Update of Article 5 of the Framework Directive on water (2000/60 / EC) on the Review of Pressures and Impacts of Human Activities in the Status of Surface and Groundwater, and Article 14 (1) (b) for the Review of Significant Water Management issues in Cyprus', to ensure a strong connection between the pressure and measures which will be proposed in the 2nd RBMP.

3. EVALUATION OF THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE MEASURES
3.1 PARAMETERS DEFINING ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY
The hierarchy of measures will be based on evaluation of economic efficiency (cost effectiveness) measures. The index is used to determine the economic efficiency is the efficiency / cost ratio.
In this case:
The efficiency of the measure relates to the benefits that it concerns and is calculated using a coefficient, that of the grade of the effectiveness of the measure (ΒΑπΜ). The cost of the measure includes the cost of its implementation and its operation for a 30 years period.
To assess the degree of efficiency of the measure taken into account the following parameters: 1. The degree of importance of the measure (ΒΣΜ). A measure of greater importance gives more benefit.
hierarchy importance
For the WFD, most important measures are considered those concerning: protected areas, and drinking water supply.
Also, as a secondary important measures considered all measures relating to the achievement of the WFD objectives and measures deemed minor ones relating to activities: preparatory measures support measures, awareness.
multiple objects
Developing Management Plans River Basin, under Directive 2000/60 / EC and of flood risk management plans are elements of integrated management of the river basin. Therefore, the two processes should use the mutual potential for common synergies and benefits,
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page - 11 - ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
having regard to the environmental objectives of Directive 2000/60 / EC to ensure efficiency and wise use of resources.
In accordance with the relevant Guideline Texts is therefore important to ensure compatibility of the measures envisaged to achieve the WFD environmental objectives by ODKP and identifying and strengthening potential synergies between the two Directives meters.
So it appears that an additional significance criterion is the satisfaction targets and other, individual, or Water Directives and ODKP objectives will pose greater benefit from measures only meet the WFD objectives.
Considering the above, the measures are assessed first as significant under the WFD is therefore: measures that satisfy other specific instructions Waters, and measures that reduce the risk of flooding.
Finally, considered as important measures proevleponto the previous RBMP and whose application has not been completed or ongoing. 4. The degree of efficiency of the measure (BAM). This index is the main criterion for the evaluation of the benefit of each measure and depends on: the degree of inherent efficiency (BEA), which yields the extent to which the measure achieves a significant result the degree of efficiency in climate change conditions (BKA), and the degree of influence of the measure (BEM), which depends on the extent of the area it affects.
Degree of inherent efficiency
About the RBMP measures in relation to that of SDKP suggest that the measures envisaged under the WFD have main (long) aimed at restoring the good status of surface and ground water bodies (exceptions) in more or less normal conditions (except the case of drought has probabilistic nature).
Considering the above, the WFD measures are regarded as important if achieve substantial improvement of the situation of bodies.
Degree of efficiency in climate change conditions
For the WFD, it is appropriate to assess the effectiveness of the measure in a prolonged drought. Also, both the WFD and to ODKP is necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the measure in view of climate change. The existence of climate change, the pace of evolution and the effects of it are subjects of research worldwide.
As stated in the updated Drought Management Plan accompanying this based on climate models (RCMs) in areas expected decrease in rainfall. Specifically, it is expected: a limited reduction of rainfall (around 10-20 mm in the Troodos Mountain range) for the period 2021-2050, and
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page - 12 - ECOS Consulting S.A. .
WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus
greater reductions (around 100-130 mm in mountain and western regions, mainly in the Akamas peninsula, on the order of 90-100 mm in southern areas and in the order of 50 mm in the inland and eastern regions) the period 2071- 2100 compared to the reference period 1961-1990.
Furthermore, droughts are expected to become more frequent in the near and distant future in Cyprus. According to the results of simulations: for the period 2021 - 2050, an increase of dry days, ie those with rainfall of less than 0.5 mm, the range of 4-6 days in coastal areas and 10 to 12 days in mountainous areas and areas inland, and for the period 2071 - 2100, expected major changes in the number of dry days, an increase of 10 days in the coastal zone of the region of Paphos to Larnaca and increase 15 to 20 in the remaining area.
In addition to the above effects from climate change can be expected in the intensity of rainfall and consequently the size of the flood.
Considering the above evaluated the effectiveness of the measures the ability of the measure to adapt to climate change in order for measures relating to the TOS and in particular the effectiveness of the measure in adapting to drought.
Degree of influence of the measure
Regarding the extent of influence of measures: the greater area of influence concerned by each measure, the more efficient it is. Concerning the extent of influence depends on the number of affected water bodies and their length in order to rivers or coastal water bodies and the surface in order for lakes and groundwater systems.
The heterogeneity of the scale unit of measure (length and surface) creates difficulties in uniform assessment of this parameter for the WFD measures. So it was that the number of affected water bodies is a practical way of influence area assessment. Whereas groundwater bodies but much larger than the other (the number of river systems covering land area is 148 and ASS 21) has been advocated a "correction" to the number of ASS by a factor of 5. Thus, in order for the WFD measures indicator for assessing the influence area is the number of river, lake and coastal bodies and the number of ASS for 5. 5. The degree of time efficiency of the measure (ΒΧΑ). This criterion affects the benefit of the measure in the sense that a measure with a rapid performance is more advantageous with respect to the investment than a measure with a slower performance. The time efficiency of the measure depends on the total time that is needed for the measure to give results, that includes the sum of : The time that is required for its realization, and The time that is necessary for the measure to produce results. .
For the WFD, the measures are assessed in terms of effectiveness time as follows:
Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page - 13 - ECOS Consulting S.A. .

Measures which generate over the next 6 years (until 2021) evaluated the short Measures which generate over the next 6 years (until 2027) are assessed as medium, and Measures which generate after the next 6 years (after 2027) evaluated the long term.

3.3 EVALUATION OF THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE MEASURES
The assessment of the benefits of the measures is made by weighting the influence of the above parameters. For weighting the above parameters as system is proposed that takes into account their importance to the overall benefit.
First the balancing of the parameters is made based on the degree of efficiency of the measure (BAM) that is:
- Degree of inherent efficiency (ΒΕΑ)
- Degree of efficiency in climate change conditions (ΒΚΑ), and
- Degree of influence of the measure (ΒΕΜ)
The proposed formula for determining the degree of efficiency the measure (ΒΑΜ) is:
ΒΑΜ = (ΒΕΑ + ΒΚΑ ) x ΒΕΜ
And values range from 1.30 to 4.60.
Based on this evaluation:
- Measures to BAM ≤ 2 are regarded as low efficiency
- measures 2 - Measures 3 Then, the effectiveness of the Measure (ΒΑπΜ) results as: ΒΑπΜ = ΒΣΜ x ΒΑΜ x BXA and its values range from 1.79 to 7.11. Based on this evaluation: - Measures with ΒΑπΜ ≤ 2 are considered low yield - Measures with 2 < ΒΑπΜ ≤ 3 are considered as average yield, and - Measures 3 The implementation and operation costs (ΚΥΛ) is the sum of the cost of implementation of the measure and the cost of operation and maintenance for a 30 years period. Finally the Economic Effectiveness of the Measures (OAM) is evaluated by the ratio of ten times the effectiveness of the Measure (ΒΑπΜ) to the logarithm of the Implementation and Operation cost, ΚΥΛ, (which yields the magnitude of the cost), namely as: ΟΑΜ =10 x ΒΑπΜ / log(ΚΥΛ) By this evaluation of economic efficiency we have at the one end a group of measures with a high index of economic efficiency (measures with low and / or no cost) and at the other a Consortium: LDK Consultants Engineers & Planners S.A. and Page - 15 - ECOS Consulting S.A. . WDD 10/2014 Program of Measures of River Basin Management Plan of Cyprus group of measures with a low value of economic efficiency (mainly structural measures with relative high cost). The prioritization of zero-cost measures or of measures with equal Economic Efficiency is based on the effectiveness of the Measure ΒΑπΜ. . 3.4 EVALUATION RESULTS Από την εφαρμογή της κατά την προηγούμενη παράγραφο μεθοδολογίας προέκυψαν τα αποτελέσματα που παρουσιάζονται στους παρακάτω πίνακες: Table 1: Measures sort by the score of the degree of the importance of the measure (ΒΣΜ) Table 2: Prioritization of Measures by the degree of efficiency of the measure (ΒΑΜ) Table 3: Prioritization of Measures by the grade of the effectiveness of the measure (ΒΑπΜ) Table 4: Economic effectiveness of the measures (ΟΑΜ).
