Groundwater monitoring and chemical status assessement according with Water Framework Directive requirements
Abstract. Article 8 of the Water Framework Directive in the water field (2000/60/EC) sets requirements for the monitoring groundwater status. According with Article 8 (1) of the Water Framework Directive, EU Member States should establish groundwater monitoring programs to knowledge and classification "status" of those within each river basin district. Monitoring of the groundwater status in Romania based on the monitoring programs established in accordance with Article 8 (1.2) of the Water Framework Directive is carried out by the National Administration "Romanian Waters" with its territorial units.Groundwater monitoring network should be designed to provide knowledge of the quantitative and chemical status and to allow identify long term trends of pollutants due to human activities. Also, groundwater monitoring may be supplemented by additional programs regarding protected areas (eg, protected drinking water catchment areas). Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC) are integrated legislation which stipulated the objectives of "good status" for all waters in Europe.To determine the chemical status of groundwater with respect to the quality of groundwater, concentrations in monitoring sections should be compared to the European standards and Threshold Values (TV) which are considered the main objectives for a good status of the groundwater body status. European standards are set for nitrate (50 mg/l) and pesticides (0,1 μg/l individual and 0,5 μg/l total). For other pollutants, member states have to derive TV having in view the natural background level. The list of minimum parameters which must be considered for each groundwater body are stiplulated in Groundwater Directive (2006/118/EC).

Keywords: integrated groundwater monitoring system, upward trend pollutant, general and specific criteria, groundwater bodies at risc
