Innovative tools enabling WATER PROTECTion in rural and urban environments
Contexte
WATERPROTECT promotes the effective implementation of mitigation measures by providing knowledge on the functioning of the water system through geospatial information (landscape, soils, geology, landuse, crops, urban use, rivers, water collection), water monitoring and modelling, and by collecting information on suitability, costs, effectiveness and benefits of mitigation measures for different types of farming systems (including newly designed), landscapes and catchment characteristics. WaterProtect integrates the information in a collaborative decision support framework. The collaborative setup and the distributed catchment approach encourages synergies between measures promoted in different legislative contexts. The project will contribute to the implementation of the CAP with respect to greening the agriculture, the realisation of the goals of the Water Framework Directive, promoting best management practices and mitigation measures at the landscape scale in the frame of the Sustainable Use Directive for pesticides, and contribute to the aims of the Water Task Force, jointly established by DG Agri and DG Env to solve issues related to agriculture and water.
Objectives
The overarching objective of WATERPROTECT is to contribute to the effective uptake and realisation of innovative farming systems delivering good water quality. Therefore WATERPROTECT creates an integrative multi-actor participatory framework, including innovative instruments, that enable actors to monitor, finance and effectively implement management practices and measures for the protection of water sources.
Objectives
N/A
Activities
WATERPROTECT is organised around action labs in 7 EU countries. Each action lab creates an integrative multi-actor participatory framework, based on innovations in water governance, participatory monitoring, farming systems, and software tools that enable actors to monitor, finance and effectively implement management practices and measures for the protection of water sources. Through the implementation of best management practices and mitigation measures initiated by WATERPROTECT, the project underpins the overall aim to produce good drinking water quality through water farms in rural and urban environments.
Additional information
The project uses a multi actor approach in seven action labs across Europe to evaluate the feasibility and uptake of science-based mitigation and stewardship solutions to improve and protect water quality in drinking water source areas. The multi actors are farmers, farmers' advisory, drinking water producers, environment agencies, agrochemical industry and foord producers, and they are active partners in the project. The adoption of measures by farmers is crucial for the success of the project and financial incentives are sought within the multi-actor group by exploring win-win between actors. Careful attention is paid to the governance process to steer the actors to solutions rather than to create blockages.

6 Practice Abstracts
The environmental benefit of application of the practice is reduction of point source pollution and protection of surface water.
Application of simple rules can lead to an effective protection of surface water.
Filling and cleaning of the spraying equipment can be safely underatken on a field, on a farm, on a dedicated area or within a biological active area/soil close to a farmyard.
When the filling or cleaning is done on a field, alternate the filling place to minimase leackage to groundwater. Keep a distance of at least 10 m to surface water during filling, and at least 100 m from any borehole.
When handling and cleaning is done on a farm, this should be undertaken on an impermeable surface with a sealed drainage system. All run off from a pesticide handling / washdown area must drain to a secure temporary storage. Filling and cleaning on a hard surface at a farmyard is only allowed if collection of all residues, spillings, tank overflows and washing water containing PPP is provided in a dedicated water tank. Careful calculations and regular checks of stored PPPs shall be provided to guearantee that there is no risk of liquids leaking.
When the filling or cleaning is done outdoor, a separation between rain water and remnant water is necessary. Special attention needs to be given to ensure that spray liquid does not contaminate farm’s water source.
Treatmed of collected contaminated washing water shall be undertaken using appropriate techniques including biological, physical and chemical solutions such as biofilters, osmofilms, heliosec, etc.
Filling on a permeable bioactive surface such as field/soil has no additional costs. Building of an impermeable filling and cleaning place with collection of remnant water costs between 1000- 10000 EUR.
Den miljømæssige gevinst er reduktion af punkt forurening og beskyttelse af overfladevand. Simple regler kan effektivt beskytte overfladevand. En række af disse regler er i Danmark krav i medfør af den relevante lovgivning. Det gælder således at:Påfyldning eller rensning af sprøjteudstyr skal foregå på en vaskeplads eller på det areal, hvor sprøjtemidlet skal udbringes.
Vaskepladser skal være placeret mindst 50 meter fra indvindingssted til almen vandforsyning, 25 meter fra ikke-almen vandforsyning til drikkevandsformål, eller rense- og samlebrønde til drænsystemer og 50 meter fra overfladevand (vandløb, søer og kystvand). Påfyldning eller vask af en sprøjte på det areal, hvor udbringning finder sted, skal ske i en afstand af mindst 300 meter fra indvindingssteder for vand til drikkevandsformål og 50 meter fra overfladevand (vandløb, søer og kystvand), § 3-områder og rense- og samlebrønde til drænsystemer. Vaskepladser skal være udstyret med tæt belægning med afløb til gyllebeholder, eller en anden tæt, stationær beholder og indrettet, så der ikke kan ske afledning til kloak, nedsivning i jorden eller afstrømning til ubefæstet areal.
Rester af plantebeskyttelsesmidler, der er godkendt til udendørs brug, må udbringes på landbrugsarealer, hvis de pågældende rester ikke skal klassificeres som farligt affald.
Landmænd skal føre en sprøjtejournal over deres brug af sprøjtemidler. Journalen skal som minimum indeholder oplysninger om mark-nr., afgrøde eller kultur, markens, det anvendte plantebeskyttelsesmiddel, dosering, dato for anvendelse, ejer eller brugers CVR-nummer. Brugen af sprøjtemidler skal indberettes til myndighederne årligt med oplysning for hver afgrøde om samlet forbrug og arealets størrelse.

Il beneficio ambientale dell'applicazione di questa buona pratica è la riduzione dell'inquinamento puntiforme e la protezione delle acque superficiali.
Il riempimento e la pulizia dell'attrezzatura irrorante può essere effettuata su un campo o in azienda, su un'area dedicata. Se effettuate in campo, si raccomanda di alternare il luogo dove queste operazioni vengono effettuate per ridurre al minimo il rischio di percolazione e contaminazione delle acque sotterranee. Mantenere una distanza di almeno 10 m dall'acqua superficiale durante il riempimento e almeno 100 m da qualsiasi pozzo.
Se effettuate in azienda, queste operazioni devono essere eseguite su una superficie impermeabile con un sistema chiuso di raccolta delle acque di drenaggio. Tali operazioni sono ammesse in azienda, in un’area dedicata, solo se è garantita la raccolta di tutti i liquidi (perdite, traboccamenti e acque di lavaggio) in un serbatoio di raccolta dedicato.
Devono essere effettuati calcoli precisi e regolari controlli dei prodotti fitosanitari stoccati per garantire la limitazione della percolazione di liquidi.
Per il riempimento e la pulizia all'aperto, è necessaria una separazione tra l'acqua piovana e l'acqua residua. Occorre prestare particolare attenzione per garantire che durante il lavaggio il liquido nebulizzato non contamini la fonte d'acqua dell’azienda.
Il trattamento dei reflui di lavaggio contaminati deve essere effettuato utilizzando tecniche appropriate, che includono soluzioni biologiche, fisiche e chimiche (osmofilm, eliosec).
Effettuare queste operazioni in campo non ha costi aggiuntivi. La costruzione di un’area dedicata, impermeabile e con la raccolta dei reflui (deposito temporaneo), costa tra 1000 e 10000 EUR.

Stosowanie tej praktyki przyczynia się do ograniczenia zanieczyszczeń wód ze źródeł punktowych. Wdrożenie prostych zasad może prowadzić do skutecznej ochrony wód powierzchniowych.
Napełnianie i czyszczenie opryskiwaczy może być przeprowadzane na polu, w gospodarstwie lub na wydzielonym obszarze w pobliżu gospodarstwa na nieutwardzonej powierzchni. Mikroorganizmy w glebie rozkładają pozostałości środków ochrony roślin.
Kiedy napełnianie lub czyszczenie odbywa się na polu, należy zmieniać miejsce, aby zminimalizować ryzyko przedostania się substancji do wód. Należy zachować odległość co najmniej 10 m od wód powierzchniowych i co najmniej 100 m od każdego odwiertu.
Napełnianie i mycie na terenie gospodarstwa należy przeprowadzać na nieprzepuszczalnej powierzchni z zamkniętym systemem drenażowym. Wszystkie spływy z obszaru zmywania pestycydów muszą być odprowadzone do zabezpieczonego zbiornika. Napełnianie i czyszczenie na utwardzonej powierzchni podwórza dozwolone jest tylko w przypadku, gdy gromadzone są wszystkie pozostałości i odcieki. Regularne kontrolowanie zbiornika minimalizuje ryzyko wycieku zgromadzonych płynów i zapobiega zanieczyszczeniu źródła wody w gospodarstwie.
Kiedy napełnianie lub mycie odbywa się na zewnątrz, konieczne jest oddzielenie zanieczyszczonej wody od wód deszczowych.
Zebraną wodę można poddać oczyszczaniu za pomocą odpowiednich technik biologicznych, fizycznych i chemicznych, takich jak biofiltry, osmofilmy, heliosek itp.
Napełnianie i czyszczenie opryskiwacza na nieutwardzonej nawierzchni nie wiąże się z dodatkowymi kosztami. Budowa stanowiska o nieprzepuszczalnej powierzchni ze zbiornikiem na gromadzenie odcieków to koszt od 1000 do 10000 EUR.

Door deze goede landbouwpraktijk toe te passen, kan verontreiniging door GBM van het oppervlaktewater gereduceerd worden.
Het vullen en reinigen van de spuitapparatuur kan veilig worden uitgevoerd op een veld of op een onverhard oppervlak dichtbij een erf. Micro-organismen in het veld breken resten van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen af. Wanneer het vullen of schoonmaken gebeurt op het veld, wissel dan de vulplaats af om niet telkens eenzelfde plaats te belasten. Houd tijdens het vullen een afstand van ten minste 10 m tot het oppervlaktewater en ten minste 100 m van een boorgat.
Wanneer het spuittoestel op het erf wordt gevuld en schoongemaakt, moet dit worden uitgevoerd op een vul- en spoelplaats. Dit is een verhard oppervlak met opvang van restwater van het spuittoestel (water dat gewasbeschermingswater kan bevatten zoals reinigingswater). Regelmatige controles moeten garanderen dat er geen risico bestaat dat de opgeslagen restvloeistoffen lekken.
Wanneer het vullen of reinigen buiten plaatsvindt, moet een scheiding voorzien worden tussen regenwater en restwater en moet voorkomen worden dat spuitvloeistof een waterbron kan verontreinigen.
Het opgevangen restwater van het spuittoestel kan behandeld worden met behulp van geschikte zuiveringstechnieken, waaronder biologische, fysische en chemische oplossingen zoals biofilters, osmofilms, heliosec, enz.
Het vullen en reinigen van het spuittoestel op een onverhard oppervlak op het bedrijf zoals het veld / de akker brengt geen extra kosten met zich mee. De bouw van een ondoordringbare vul- en reinigingsplaats met opvang van restwater kost tussen de 1000 en 10000 EUR.
