After postponing the deadline twice \u2013 in 2015 and in 2021 \u2013 the Netherlands could come up short. The drinking water sector is also rolling up its sleeves to turn the tide. To map out the issues, KWR \u2013 on behalf of Vewin \u2013 drew up three provocative fact sheets: on the approach of nitrogen emissions, emerging substances and pharmaceutical residues. Each fact sheet summarises the problem as well as the possible solutions, primarily for politicians and administrators but also for the general public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Include drinking water goals in approach to nitrogen emissions<\/h2>\n<p>Ecohydrologist Arnaut van Loon works at KWR in the areas of restoring groundwater levels, freshwater management and groundwater protection. He says: \u201cTo comply with the WFD guidelines for surface-water and groundwater quality, the upper limit for nitrate in groundwater is 50 mg\/litre. The Netherlands is required to protect water (including groundwater) intended for drinking water production in such a way that its quality does not deteriorate and to reduce the amount of treatment required for the production of drinking water\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>After an initial decline, the agricultural nitrogen surplus appears to have been increasing again since 2010. That also results in more leaching of nitrate to groundwater. Particularly in the southern and eastern parts of the Netherlands, this means that additional treatment in drinking water production will be required because the soil in that region is naturally susceptible to nitrate leaching.<\/p>\n<p>According to Van Loon, the current situation emphatically requires the inclusion of drinking water objectives in the national approach to nitrogen emissions. \u201cRobust and rapidly implemented measures are needed that also provide farmers with prospects for the future. In this playing field, the National Programme for Rural Areas opens up opportunities to include drinking water objectives in existing measures for nature restoration, water quality and climate adaptation. The required strategy means an approach to agriculture with low emissions that meets all the environmental objectives, including those for the sources that supply our drinking water\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 7016px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Factssheet-Nitraat.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"7016\" height=\"4420\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1. Nitrate threatens groundwater quality. To maximise crop growth, nitrogen is applied to the soil as a fertiliser and in animal manure. Some of the nitrogen is absorbed by the roots of crops and removed during harvesting. Most of the residue washes out to groundwater as nitrate. That has a negative effect on the quality of groundwater for drinking water production. For drinking water production from <em>surface water<\/em>, nitrogen is <em>not<\/em> relevant.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Emerging substances: adequate source approach as the leading priority<\/h2>\n<p>The WFD requires new emerging substances that may threaten the drinking water supply to be monitored. When the threshold value of 0.1 microgrammes a litre is reached, risks associated with the substance must be described quickly, including (where necessary) a safe target value for drinking water derived from that description. \u201cAlthough the drinking water does comply with the standards,\u201d says Inge van Driezum, a researcher in groundwater and surface water quality on the Ecohydrology team, \u201cthe amount of treatment required to produce drinking water is increasing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are finding emerging substances in almost all surface water and bank filtrate, which together account for 40 percent of our Dutch drinking water sources,\u201d continues Van Driezum. In addition, a number of groundwater sources \u2013 which supply the remaining 60% \u2013 are also threatened in this way. While drinking water companies can still comply with the quality requirements for drinking water, this sometimes involves using more treatment technologies. This is diametrically opposed to the objectives of the WFD.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo prevent further deterioration in the quality of the groundwater and surface water, action at source has the highest priority, both in Europe and the Netherlands,\u201d says Van Driezum. \u201cThis fits in well with basic European principles such as the precautionary principle and the \u2018polluter pays\u2019 principle. For this source approach, regulations (including European regulations) will have to be tightened up and adequately implemented within our national borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 7016px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Factsheet_Opkomende-stoffen.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"7016\" height=\"4420\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 2. Groundwater and surface water quality is deteriorating. Water utilities regularly stop the intake of river water from the Meuse and Rhine because the surface water quality is not up to standard due to the presence of \u2018emerging substances\u2019: unknown substances for which there are no standards (statutory or otherwise) and for which the harmfulness has not yet been (fully) determined (such as GenX). Emerging substances are also found in groundwater. Drinking water complies with the standards but, if no improvements are made to the sources, producing drinking water will involve more and more treatment.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Highest priority for additional treatment in the fight against pharmaceutical residues<\/h2>\n<p>Thomas ter Laak, senior researcher in Chemical Water Quality at KWR, talks about developments relating to pharmaceutical residues in the water chain. \u201cEvery year, about 190 tonnes of pharmaceutical residues enter our surface water in human urine and faeces. This amount is increasing in line with medicine consumption in the Netherlands. More and more medicines are being added to the mix as well. Despite treatment at wastewater treatment plants, pharmaceuticals enter the water chain. That is a particular concern during dry periods because that is when the proportion of waste water in most surface waters increases, and therefore the concentrations of pharmaceutical residues increase as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With extensive monitoring, a threshold for pharmaceutical residues of 1 microgramme a litre, and good drinking water treatment, drinking water quality is not currently at risk. But to maintain that situation in the future, more action is needed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 7016px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwrwater.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Factssheet-Urgentekaderrichtlijn-water.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"7016\" height=\"4420\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 3. The levels of pharmaceuticals from production, use and the water chain to drinking water fall from 100% to less than 1% and then, as a result of drinking water treatment, a long way below the risk thresholds.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The biggest gain in terms of surface water quality can be achieved with additional treatment at wastewater treatment plants, where pharmaceutical residues from households and healthcare facilities meet, Ter Laak believes. \u201cThis is also the most practical operational option. However, this means that the water authorities have to act, even though they do not cause the emissions. On the basis of the \u2018polluter pays\u2019 principle \u2013 which is part of a stricter European Commission directive that is expected to take effect in 2024 \u2013 producers, the medical sector and households will have to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires European water quality to be in order by 2027.
