This dataset was reported by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the EU Floods Directive. Article 4 of the Floods Directive requires Member States to undertake a Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment (PFRA) for each river basin district, unit of management or the portion of an international river basin district or unit of management lying within their territory. The identification of Areas of Potential Significant Flood Risk (APSFR, Article 5) will be based on available or readily derivable information, including the requirements specified in Article 4 (PFRA) in the Directive. In the 1st implementation cycle Member States may apply Article 13.1 (transitional arrangements) and either report on a PFRA carried out before 22 December 2010 (Article 13.1(a)) or proceed directly to mapping and establishment of flood risk management plans (Article 13.1(b)). If Article 13.1(a) is applied, the result will include the identification of APSFR (Article 5), if Article 13.1(b) is applied, APSFR will not be identified; instead maps at the appropriate scale according to Article 6 (see Flood Hazard Maps and Flood Risk Maps) will be prepared.

This dataset was reported by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the EU Floods Directive. The Floods Directive indicates that Member States may make use of the administrative arrangements made under Article 3 of the Water Framework Directive. However, different competent authorities may be appointed by Member States for the Floods Directive. The Floods Directive also allows Member States to identify different units of management from the river basin districts used for the Water Framework Directive. Member States shall (Article 3 of the Floods Directive): (a) appoint competent authorities different from those identified pursuant to Article 3(2) of Directive 2000/60/EC; (b) identify certain coastal areas or individual river basins and assign them to a unit of management different from those assigned pursuant to Article 3(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC. In these cases, Member States shall, by 26 May 2010, communicate to the Commission the information referred to in Annex I to Directive 2000/60/EC. Any changes in administrative arrangements also need to be communicated within three months of the change coming into effect. Delivery process is managed by EEA

This dataset was reported by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg under the following obligation: "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 Reporting". For operational purposes, the following obligations are part on the 2016 WFD RBMP reporting process: - "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 Spatial data" - "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 RBDSUCA XML data" - "Water Framework Directive - River Basin Management Plans - 2016 RBD XML data" This reporting obligation is an Eionet core data flow This dataset is one element of these.

Gauging stations (WFD) - Measuring points in relation to the Water Framework directive (WFD), established by the European union and having water protection and management for goal.

The flood risk management directive (directive 2007/60/CE) consider the development of flood risk management plans as an appropriate tool to prevent or reduce the adverse effects of flood events. The focus is particularly on prevention, protection and precautions. The catalog of measures drawn up for Luxembourg corresponds in its structure and basic statements to the German LAWA catalog of measures.

The chemical status of the surface water bodies is assessed as being good or failing to achieve good chemical status. The assessment of the chemical status for the second river basin management plan is based on the list of substances of directive 2008/105/EC and the environmental quality standards established by the new directive 2013/39/EC. The assessment without the ubiquist substances permita to get a differentiated picture of the actual situation.

The hydromorphological status was determined by a monitoring compliant with the Water Framework Directive (Directive 2000/60/EU). The elaboration of a structural quality mapping is one part of this monitoring. Within the scope of the work on the structural quality mapping, a total of 31 parameters in the area of the river bed, the river bank and the floodplain are assessed so that the structural quality mapping contains detailed information on the river morphology and the river continuity. In this case, the evaluation of the mapped sections is based on five classes. The results of the evaluation were aggregated into an overall evaluation per mapped section.
