Q4f - Programme description
The eutrophication programme is an integrated part of the National Monitoring Programme for Water and Nature, NOVANA that records physical, chemical and biological conditions. The overall structure of NOVANA is reflecting the principles of the DPSIR causal framework. The data provided by the eutrophication programme is traditionally considered in conjunction with data coming from several other programmes of the MSFD monitoring for instance plankton and benthos data.

Q7b - Description of monitoring of activities
Monitoring activities related to eutrophication has been performed since early 1980'ties in a high quality programme inspired by HELCOM COMBINE and OSPAR guidleines. The monitoring programme has been found to be very useful for setting up measures on the input sources. Financing could be provided following the programmes ability to document cause-effect relations.

The program including rationale for the geographic scope can be found here: http://naturstyrelsen.dk/naturbeskyttelse/national-naturbeskyttelse/overvaagning-af-vand-og-natur/novana-program/ The aim of the National Monitoring Programme for Water and NAture is to document the impacts of the current Programmes of Measures as well as to establish the basis for future environmental management of the Danish sea territories.
The program including rationale for the geographic scope can be found here: http://naturstyrelsen.dk/naturbeskyttelse/national-naturbeskyttelse/overvaagning-af-vand-og-natur/novana-program/
The programme has been established in order to document trends and inputs impacting the aquatic environment as well as to provide a basis for decision-making in relation to restore the environmental quality in freshwater and marine environment.
The Danish monitoring program for air quality and depositons is based on a few coastal fixed measurements stations in combination with modelcalculations that cover all the Danish marins waters. The quality of the model calculations is based on comparisons with the results from the monitoring stations.

The measurement methods are based on the methods recommended under the EMEP monitoring program. Part of the measurement methods has been slghtly modified compared to the EMPE methods. The modifications have been documented in connection with DCE's accriditation. The model calculations is based on DCE's air quality model called Danish hemispheric eulerian model.

Q9i - Description of sample representivity
According to EU Directive 2006/7 / EC of 15 February 2006 on bathing water quality, sample taking will only take place in the "bathing season" (Denmark 1. of June to 1. of September / in some cases to 15. of September) and only were there are a "large number" of bathers. Link to Directive: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2006:064:0037:0051:EN:PDF. Please find also link to the Danish Statutory order concerning bathing water: https://www.retsinformation.dk/forms/R0710.aspx?id=143189. Please find link to the Reporting Sheet from EEA (European Environment Agency) : http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/531.
Approx. 50% of the catchment area is covered by monitoring stations. The locations are selected mainly to cover the largest rivers and to be distributed across the entire country. The nutrient load from the remaining catchment area is estimated using models. 840 - 1680 12-24 annual samples at each location in approx. 70 stations
