Specification of information needs: how?• Water management analysis
– Policy / water management objectives– Legal obligations– Inventory of water resources use / land use
• Function-issue table• Cause-effect relationship for each
function-issue combination• Define DPSIR indicators• Define parameters for each indicator

Number of sewage systems Number of new sewage treatment plants constructed Costs of removing N and P from the sewage
Eutrophication
Agricultural land use area and distribution in the basin Amount of artificial and natural fertilisers used in agriculture
Amount of nutrients washed off into the river
N and P concentrations, O2 concentration
Turbidity, changes in diversity and abundance in fish populations, timing and number of fish kills, timing and number water bloom
Investment into good agriculture practices in € per year
