Status of WFD implementionin Lithuania

• The transposition of WFD to Lithuanian law is
  completed
• 4 River Basin Districts established
• EPA designated as a Competent Authority
  responsible for the development and
  implementation of River Basin Management Plans
  (BMP) for all RBDs
• 4 Coordination boards for each River basin
  district are foreseen for the involvement of
  various stakeholders into management process

Water Resource Management Information System
(WRMIS)

• aim of WRMIS
• to establish a WEB portal to connect information
  from different institutions based on different
  technology in a common information system by use
  of the Internet, XML technologies, and by
  bridging to well known existing systems.
• institutions using WEB portal for data exchange
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Geological Service
• Joint Marine Center
• Hydrometeorological Servise
• Environmental Protection departments
