Three outputs of Art. 5
• 1. Analysis of uses
• 3. Baseline scenario
• 2. Cost-recovery assessment

1. Characterisation of uses
• Aim: Signals on main stakes /
potential consequences of decisions
• E.g.: Financial flows compared to
capital;
Richness and affordability /territorial
distribution

1. What use for Prog of Measures ?
• Better knowledge of water uses
taken in significant issues
• Geographical (GIS) database on
water uses
80 % of needed data for
Hmodified argumentation, cost-
benefit & cost-effectiveness
7
Cost recovery
• Questions to answer (discussed
with stakeholders) :
• Public transfers
• External effects
• Proportion of environmental
costs to services payment

What beyondinitial C-recovery evaluation?
• Who will bear the cost of the PoM?
• Will that change the cost-recovery ratio?

5. Baseline scenario
• Questions to answer:
• Likely effects of current
changes & policies on risks
• Sensitive and insensitive
variables
= what is to be watched closely?

3. Where are we now?
Starting from an existing “chain” of models
SENEQUE Model
No ecological model available, hand-made expert simulation
PROSE Model (lenght of Seine river, Paris to estuary)
SIAM1-D (Seine estuary)
SIAM1-ELISE (Seine bay)
No simulation available

1. What use for Prog of Measures ?
• Database on current “works”:
planned investments, costs
• ≈ basic measures evaluation,
and their effectiveness
assessment (this being limited
however)
19
Conclusion
• Article 5 looks like
a “technocratic” exercise
• However it is building tools
that are essential
for further programming of measures
